    Fuel Filler Location

    thread108-99861 FMCSR 393.65 states "Fuel spilled vertically from a fuel tank while it is being filled will not contact any part of the exhaust..." Having the filler on the opposite side of the exhaust guarantees this but is not the only solution...

    Charge Determination R134a TXV Automotive System

    I am trying to determine the charge amount for a R134a TXV AC system by measuring condenser subcooling. My question is how much subcooling is ideal(it has a reciever dryer so I'm assuming not a lot). The other thing that I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around is what is the ideal test...

    Inductive Proximty Switches Sensing Aluminum?

    I was working with some Osiprox Proximity sensors from Telemecanique and surprised to find out that they can detect aluminum (although at only about half the distance of steel). This flys in the face of my understanding of how an indutive sensor works. That being you basically have a...

    Bushing Design For Cantilevered Shaft

    I want to support a cantilevered, high load, very low speed, 90º oscilating shaft with two bronze bushings. Don't know if PV (Pressure Velocity) calculations are valid because of possible edge loading due to cantilever. Also not sure of PV because of low speed and not a complete revolution...

    Determining Ackerman Steering Geometries

    How do you determine steering arm angles for Ackerman steering on a front steer axle (ie. steering linkages in front of axle). I've seen the "draw a line through the kingpin axis to the rear axle approach" for rear steer axles but applying the determined steering arm angles to a front steer...
