Aero eats PET bags.....


It was an experiment. I tried to measure acceleration with and w/o air filter. Got an old police speed gun asked GF to help.

Last time I tried to accelerate w/o air filter and removed hood I reved engine up and engine sucked in small plastig bag that was leaved in engine compartemnt near A/C refrigerant reservouar.

I got missfire and rought idle for some seconds, then boom twice, black smoke and then engne started running like nothing happened.... Plastic bad was burned in engine... like a fuel!!!

Draw all the day today. runs really well.
