RE: flamers

If I can remember correctly, its a problem with many locomotives in from GE. When idling, some fuel starts to build up in the exhaust area. If the throttle is then advanced to high, too fast, the fuel becomes superheated and ignites. It results in a flare up that lasts all of 3-5 seconds but can cause major damamge if not controlled properly. There was a whole thread on this topic about a month ago, search this forum for it. Search "CP" as the subject I think.CHARTER MEMBER - Since August 2001 Looks Like a Pony, RUNS LIKE A STALLION

all I know is it does it when you work the throttle from Idil to notch8.

I know im late at doing it but I have to respond to this. If we have learned anything from Grand Theft Auto Three, if you shoot flames at a car they will speed off, running into other cars and smashing civilians. They would just want to be anywhere but where they are.Its my birthday on Apr. 28th! Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 25
