August 10, 201311 yr Well different name's from different places But ..................................................................................................................................... ...It's deffinatly not a reverse muffler bearing, they are all square shaft with left thread.
August 10, 201311 yr Moderator Its a barbed hosetail. Be careful with any measurements as I think they measure using the inside diameter. Also ideal if you have a broken airbox air pipe connection - the type molded on that snap off when someone has tried to pull off an air tube.
August 10, 201311 yr There's always one SMARTARSE!!!!! If you're going to order a part, is it not a good idea to know what the suppliers call it? Call it what you like, Scottoiler will be far more efficient if you use their terms.

August 12, 201311 yr I always thought they were threaded jets, just bought some off Ebay for my Mitsubishi lpg conversion
August 12, 201311 yr interesting fact I learn't a few days ago about LPG a plumber on site were I was working was saying how it heavier than air and doesn't mix with air, if you get a leak on say a boat for instance it build's up at the bottom and can't escape. He was saying he had just completed a coarse where the instructor told him you have to bail it out with a bucket he said you'll look a proper dick but that's how to do it, I thought this was a windup so I painted LPG on a bucket and gave it him as a present, to convince us he wasn't joking he filled the bucket up with LPG waited about 30 secs then threw a match in, wow it was still in there alright. don't think i'll be messing round with that stuff looks really dangerous to me, hope you know what your doing foamy wouldn't want you getting blown up before I get my T shirt.
August 12, 201311 yr indeed it is heavier than air, hence why LPG boats have extractor fans in the bilges to purge them before starting incase there is a leak , i briefley looked in to converting a 5.7L mercruiser in a fletcher speedboat until i realised i didnt have the cash .
August 13, 201311 yr LPG and carbon monxide are both Heavier than air, thats why you shuold never lay on the floor to chech for leaks when running a eng,monxide builds up in your system never to leave.
