![]() Spain and Morocco come to mind with their large solar parks and abundance of sun - these two countries could specialize in producing eFuel and Hydrogen for example and then exporting it.eFuels are a sweet alternative. ![]() But the fuel could be produced even cheaper in countries which have excess renewable energy sources such as a lot of solar and wind. Dirk Spaniel of the AfD in Germany has stated that with current German electricity prices, a liter of eFuel could be sold at the pumps for about 1.20/1.30 Euros, which are prices we have been paying for decades at the pumps for gasoline and Diesel fuel (with a bunch of taxes slapped on for a good measure). It just requires government support and of course ENERGY (ideally nuclear or excess “renewable” energy.). Also, in my opinion the war against the ICE in Europe is driven primarily by socialist/communist/greenie wackos who are using global warming to push forth their agenda to force people to give up their cars (aka “their freedom”) and switch over the public transportation and so forth.I love listening to many eFuel experts here and they all say the same thing: it’s a viable and realistic option. Plus, EVs come with their own set of ecological issues and can’t replace every single ICE car in the world. EVs are not going to take over overnight and they will never (or at least in the next decades) provide the flexibility that ICE cars offer. Liquid, high-energy dense fuels have their own advantages and are in my opinion an example of sustainability since they will fuel millions of already-produced ICE cars around the world. ChristianWimmer If the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions or at least keep them in check, the eFuels are a GREAT IDEA.Txvixen I have owned 3 Nissans and my first one was a 2011 and I got 383000 thousand miles on it and it never used any oil.Availability of the new cooler is very low. ![]() Hopefully my order went through, as I have not yet received confirmation that it has been processed. Has anyone found a coolant that mixes happily with the Chrysler purple?Īs an aside, does it not occur to car companies that keeping an obviously defective part in production for 20 years does nothing for their rep? Seriously, they designed a whole car ffs, surely they could have been arsed enough to put their own aluminum oil filter/cooler in production? The failure rate on these is high enough to have spawned several aftermarket suppliers for the same bad product. This would not be an issue if the Chrysler dealer wasn't asking $50/jug for the OEM stuff. ![]() I see some coolants purporting to be useable in all models regardless of coolant, but the consequences of a screw-up can be dire, with the coolant basically turning into a jelly inside the motor. Unfortunately, it seems the OAT purple coolant used in this engine does not play well with some other coolants, including earlier orange HOAT coolants used in the same engine. Until it arrives, and until it warms up enough to do the job, I want to nurse it along, since it is more of a weepy leak than a gusher. I have ordered an all-metal Dorman unit to replace it and hopefully banish this particular demon (see what I did there) for good. ![]() The original (?) lasted a mere 90,000km, and the replacement I put in last year is already leaking. Well, as much as I like my Pentastar, I will readily admit the oil cooler design is a piece of crap. ![]()
