Resupply error;

Most drivers, almost daily, we visit a gas station to refuel our car. But have you ever thought about what can happen if we fill the car tank with the wrong fuel;
In detail the possibilities that may arise:

Refueling with unleaded petrol instead of super petrol
If you put unleaded petrol in the tank instead of super, there is no particular problem. But it would be good, once we realize the mistake to stop in time and continue with super.

Refueling with Super petrol instead of unleaded petrol
No problem! The new super gasolines do not contain lead to destroy the "l" sensor of the catalyst. Nevertheless, and in this case it would be good, once we realize the mistake to stop in time and continue with unleaded.

Refueling with petrol instead of diesel
If you fill up with very few liters of petrol instead of diesel, no problem just stop and continue with diesel. But if you have filled up with gas, do not start the engine.

Refueling with diesel instead of gasoline
Do not start the engine, all involved parts must first be cleaned (tank, petrol filter etc.). Call roadside assistance immediately and go to the workshop.

End, it is worth noting that catalytic converter cars using unleaded have a smaller tank opening and it is almost impossible to fit the diesel or super pump nozzle, since it is bigger. Of course if the car is moving with super, the diesel or unleaded oil pump can fit into the tank mouth. The color of unleaded is light green, of super red while diesel dark brown.

New BMW engines 1,5, valid until 224 horsepower!

A new one, promising generation of three-cylinder engines has been announced by BMW which is expected to turn things upside down, from a mechanical point of view, with the philosophy and technologies they incorporate.

With the aim of putting it into production 2013, in models that he has not clarified yet, BMW presented a new, very promising, generation of low displacement engines, petrol and diesel. Their base concerns one 1,5 TwinPower turbo with variable load control, direct injection and Valvetronic (in the gasoline versions). The share of mechanical parts in percentage 60% between petrol and diesel engines, ensures significant savings, in development and production levels, according to BMW.

Each cylinder has a capacity of approx 500 κ.εκ. designed to ensure high thermodynamic performance and quietness, smooth operation. With the aim of minimizing vibrations, a special arrangement is used, which offers, according to the company's engineers, extremely layered mode.

Specific information has not yet been released, but we do know that the petrol engine versions will yield from 121 to 224 horsepower, with 180-240 Nm of torque. The diesels, on the other side, they will provide power 82-184 horsepower and torque 225-330 Nm.

Fiat Panda TwinAir with natural gas!

Another technological innovation for Fiat, as for the first time a two-cylinder engine (TwinAir), consumes natural gas (CNG). The new Panda Natural Power, it is now a fact.
For about two decades now, Fiat invests in the use of natural gas, evolving technology to such an extent, to be applied for the first time, worldwide, in a two-cylinder engine. The new Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir Natural Power, is, most, a fact and even in the neighboring country (where they operate approx 1000 gas stations, with natural gas) its commercialization has already started, with prices starting at 13.950 euro.
With the CNG option, its horsepower 0.9 TwinAir is reduced by five horsepower (80 from 85), but the average consumption of 3,1 lt./100km/h and CO2 emissions, which are limited to 86 g/km, compensate, in any case, the driver, for the small sacrifice in performance.

In Italy it is estimated that 12 euro, the natural gas tank, capacity 72 liter, he wears a scarf, while respectively the capacity of this gasoline, has been reduced to 35 l, as inevitably the volume of the luggage compartment has suffered a reduction since the 225 στα 200 l. The top speed of the car is 170 km/h, with fuel the gasoline and 168 km/h with CNG.

Revelation of the new VW Golf

In a special ceremony VW presented the seventh generation of the popular, small and medium model. The new Golf is 100 kilos lighter and against 23% more economical in consumption, in relation to the outgoing one, his sixth generation!
"Six generations of Golf, from 1974 up to 2012. This represents 38 years of continuous success for the global best seller, with sales 29,13 from. cars". These were the words of Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen AG who, after he wove the eulogy of the first six generations, stated that the seventh will continue in the same footsteps of success.

The new Golf will be based on the new, VW Group's modular MQB platform, which offers increased levels of safety and rigidity, while helping to reduce the overall weight of the car by 100 kilos. This, although the external dimensions of the car have increased. Specifically, its length is greater by 56 mm., στα 4,25 meters and the width of 13 mm. (1,79 meters). Its wheelbase is also increased, against 59 mm. which translates into a slightly more spacious interior. Respectively, the luggage compartment rises from the 350 στα 380 l.

In the field of engines, the company's engineers reserved one more surprise, as not one but two new generations of engine assemblies evolved, with an emphasis on low consumption and horsepower from 85 until 150 horsepower.  All versions are equipped with a start/stop system and other elements that help save fuel. THE 1,6 diesel of 105 horses, for example consumes barely 2,8 liter/ 100 km. and emits 99 gr. CO2/km. As for the Golf BlueMotion version, sets new standards, with consumption 3,2 liter/ 100 km. and CO2 emissions 85 g/km!

The picture is completed by one 1,2 TSI, entry 85 horses, a 1,4 TSI, 140 horses, with a cylinder deactivation system for greater economy and a two-liter diesel 150 horses, with barely consumed 4,1 liter/ 100 km. More will be added later, stronger versions. Rumors, no, they want the flagship Golf to be equipped with a turbo engine 2,0 liters and 300 horses!

Regarding security systems, for the first time we see the Multi Collision Brake System, which intervenes on the brakes after a collision to reduce the car's kinetic energy, avoiding the possibility of a second collision. Alongside, the Golf will be equipped with the PreCrash system that will intervene in seat belts, windows and other parts of the car, thus "preparing" safety systems and occupants before any upcoming collision. The list also includes Adaptive Cruise Control, the Front Assist system, which interferes with the brakes, mobilizing the car even from gears 150 km / h, if the driver is slow to react, City Emergency Braking, for speeds up to 30 km/h and Park Assist, that detects gaps and parks the car even in spaces that are barely there 80 centimeters longer than its total length.

Going inside, the new color touch screen catches the eye, of 5,8 inches, which will be offered as standard in several European countries, with an even larger screen optional 8 inches. Another change has to do with removing the conventional parking brake and replacing it with a new one, electric. In o,what does it have to do with internal dimensions, rear passengers now have 15 mm. more space for their legs, while the forwards enjoy 31 extra millimeters of "air" for their backs and 22 mm. at the height of the elbows.
