Colortune is a unique mixture setting
device and a detector of other mixture
related problems. It is a sparking plug,
which runs the engine like any normal
sparking plug, but because it has a
glass insulator, it allows the colour of the
combustion flame, inside the cylinder, to
show through it, thereby indicating the
strength of the mixture or other faults.
How will it work?
Understanding the principle by which
Colortune works helps in getting the best
results. That principle is commonly seen
in action on paraffin heaters, gas cookers
or anywhere a fuel is burnt in the air to
produce heat or energy.
Combustion at its most efficient produces
a clear blue flame, various colours result
in inefficient mixtures. Inside an internal
combustion engine those same colours are
present though not normally seen.
With Colortune fitted, in place of a spark
plug, the flame is visible through the glass
insulator and the fuel is ignited by a spark in
the Colortune.
What it does?
Colortune provides a unique view of the
behaviour of the fuel burn, in the individual
cylinders, often saving expense on costly
fault diagnostics. Colortune will set the
mixture very accurately, if used correctly,
avoiding most petrol wastage, ensuring
better performance and cleaning up the
exhaust to a great extent.
What it fits?
Colortune will fit most vehicles.
The standard plug has a 14mm diameter
plug thread just like most sparking plugs.
Adaptors to allow it to be fitted to all other
vehicles, boats, motorcycles or even lawn
mowers, are readily available to fit 18mm,
12mm and 10mm sizes.
