say mates :

Got a MT 480 off eBay - and managed to find a lumi probe for it - manageable price - a few repairs to the wires I will have to do

wonder if anyone might have the booklet for this unit ( a copy or PDF )- or know where I might find such an item

basic instructions are on other sites - but did see a unit for sale with the booklet

thought I would ask about

cheers thanks in advance

 

i have the manual with mine,but that only goes so far.
everything you need should be here in this thread:

remember without knowing your cetane value using this meter,your just as well off as timing by ear.
example of tool required:

good luck!

 

say FORDF250HDXLT:

thanks for the reply & the link - question on Cetane - especially on cross country trips - cetane value will always fluctuate even with additives added upon fill up ? No?

so moteur and truck performance will always NOT be constant even with Bio mixed and some cetane booster

I have timed by ear before and then have had done a few weeks later by dynamic - was off 2 º - pump was new at the time , so since I got the timing unit - might as well give it a go

cheers:

 

yes that's right,if you fuel up at different places or use alternative fuels.
i have no such options here.
