Removing the Fuel and Exhaust Systems

Open Source Civic EV Kit

I spent most of this afternoon and evening removing the fuel tank and exhaust system. Since this part of the car wasn't steam cleaned like the engine compartment, I got complete covered in dirt and gasoline grime.

Audi gives S5 models their first diesel and 48V MHEV systems; performance and efficiency

Green Car Congress

An electric powered compressor provides for strong off-the-line performance; a 48V mild hybrid system (MHEV) enhances efficiency. The new S models consume on average 19% less fuel than their predecessors with gasoline engines despite producing significantly more torque. A compact electric motor replaces the turbine wheel, however.
