Yesterday i took my first testdrive for aprox 5km. It went real good no
problems at all. I did this at 00.30 in the night. The sun was shining
and the birds singing. YES you did read right, the sun was shining. 

>From the 15 may to 25 july the sun never goes down up here in the arctic
area.It's a bit of a problem when you are reassembling the car. "It so
bright outhere the clock cant be so much" And i end up coming in at 3
aclock in the morning. 

Well tomorrow it is midsummernights eve and i will take a brake in the
reassembly. I will taste some wine of the nordic type. Clear white with
a "ABSOLUT" taste. 

I think the spit would run excellent on this kind of fuel but however
much i like the spit it would be a waste. Or! its better if i test how i
run on this fuel first so i dont damage the spits engine.(Aprox 60%). 

Based on earlier tries you get a good effect but if the rpm is to high,
the effect will be too strong and you may lose control. After loosing
the control you will have serious starting problems in the morning.

Does anyone else have this experience?
