  • excellent work! here where I live some guys did a system that dripped diesel oil drops in the exhaust and they used that steam to help in the it burns and he/she gave result, I am thinking about doing with gasoline.

  • a good idea for water misting is the low voltage pond foggers.they are cheap and you could use three of them.one for idle one for mid range and the third at max revs.a simple curved copper bus bar setup on throttle linkage may provide a suitable progressive switching range.

  • i dlike to have that fogger but i cannot find supplies in my area. so im thinking of using the exhaust manifold to produce steam and feed to my intake..

  • How much fuel is pump (ml) into the engine @ 2000rpm?

    Given Condition:

    10:1 compression ratio and 1000cc engine, 4 cylinders, 40% fuel efficiency.

    I seem to have problem to calculate this. Would you please help me? Thanks.

  • here is the thing, there are manny factors such as type of carb used, air flow etc. Its very difficult to compute exact fuel consumtion thats why all scan guage system installed in car rely on very accurate sensors to measure the actual air or fuel flow as well as the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. What im saying is. 2 identical engine running at 2000 rpm, 1 of which engine could possible consume double the amount of gasoline and possible there is no noticable external effect.

  • Now I get it . Because all the parameters will change, especially the STOP sign every way. Thanx!

  • dude just change the jetting in the caburator you can get 20% better mileage the only thing to watch out for is lean miss and burning up piston

  • Yes I agree with you, and I did that already with my engine. But on top of the reduced fuel consumption on replacing jetting air bleed can still add some more. The disadvantage of replacing jetting is that, you cannot control or adjust it externally once installed unlike airbleed with solenoid valve, you can control to switch between fuel saving mode and race mode.

  • If u run to lean u can cause detonation, overheating etc. Also u may use more fuel as the engine will have less power so u have to thrash it and be in lower gear, plus it may misfire. The mixture should be right, a stoichiometrice ration must be observed.

  • yes you are absolutely correct. me must go for the leanest possible without predetonation. most of the stock carburated engine setting is rich or over stichiometric because its more safer for the engine and the engine runs cooler but the drawback is high fuel consumption.

  • Car manufacturer are using fuel to cool down the engine. the excess fuel will not be burned and will defenitely not help in additional horsepower but exit to exhoust as liquid, the catalytic converter in the exhoust is used to convert excess liquid fuel to reduce harmfull emision.this exces fuels is the target of my fuel saving devices.

  • Yes, but a slichtly rich mixture can give more bhp as the cooling effect makes the charge (fuel/ air) cooler, so is more dense.

    Most injected cars run lean, u can get more power by richening these up, u look at the plugs and they'll be white!

    U also get fuel puddling on inlet manifold walls, so when decelerating with closed throttle, this will travel through engine, pop pop! more swirl can use a weaker mixture, I run a diesel!

  • Yes I agree again that cooler air gas mixture and cumbustion erea is better. But there are other ways to cool it, its not necesary to use fuel as coolant and get wasted. my on going project is to use water mist to feed on the intake. instead of using gasoline to cool it, I will be using water mist. I can run lean wthout pre detonation and temp rising plus an additional HP by the water expansion during cumbustion.

  • See "lean burn" engines, more swirl mixes charge better, richness is often because a given engine looses fuel out of suspension, the more it looses the richer the mixture will have to be, not for cooling, eg a slow inlet speed will loose fuel out of charge through puddling etc, if u lean it off the flame front will travel to fast. modern engines more swirl etc so thats why theyre leaner. old engines no swirl, rich!

  • I just thought; have u put cooler running plugs in the engine? This can help u run cooler plug temp.

  • The excess fuel is not for cooling, it is because of a certain amont of fuel being lost from suspension in the mixture, engines run hot when lean as the flame is hotter- like blue flame on gas oven and it burns faster so energy is lost to cylinder wall etc and not used by piston.power lost.

  • All carburated engines does not function all the same it depends on manny factor. Just like mine, my engines run almost same between the stock configuration and with all fuel saving devices installed. the only difference is cleaner axhoust, a little rise in temp and all the fuel and money savings that i made.

  • Some engines come with a lean burn version, maybe u could run leaner with a lean burn head? Jaguar had a lean burn head "may fireball chamber", google it very interesting.

    CV carbs r good for fuel aswell.

    Best way of course is to have a diesel!!

  • yah maybe. But im not familiar with different engine design. I just know my engine and I learned evrything from it plus the reaserch in the net. I agree that deisel is better. maybe you can try running it on vegtable oil, it will work.
