In the beginning of the video with me not being an expert in diesel engines I forgot to turn off the fuel injector pump. Eventually we seen the mistake and then we were running on the diesel vapor carburetor. This was our very first run and we never did this before and you are seeing it for the first time like we are doing for the first time. If there's any mistakes or problems we were seeing it and you are seeing it on video. We are happy with the results and now it is time to fine tune the system. After the video was completed we totally made some major changes getting rid of the flexible cap and change it over to a hard top and more.

  • you will accomplish nothing except destroying the pistons. you might want to read about "flash point" for your fuels, air fuel explosions are dramatic.

  • To: @aminimaleffort

    I understand your concern about flashpoint. Flashpoint of diesel fuel is extreme heat. Using the same experiment we tried introducing it into a standard gasoline engine using that uses spark plug for ignition and nothing happened whatsoever. Introducing the diesel vapors into the diesel engine we had ignition inside the engine. This was our first test captured on video using this concept on a diesel engine to see if it worked and it did.

  • I am grinning away though at what you have pulled off here. Great work. for starters maybe just use a piece of flat stock to cover up some of the intake, the more you restrict on one end the more you will pull on the vaporizer. Be Careful though, diesels can really pull some vacuum if they want to.

  • Hey guys. I want to tell you good job on that vaporizer setup. Some may have told you already, but the rpms on a diesel are controlled by the injection pump pumping more fuel into the system. There is no butterfly controlling the the amount of air entering the engine. It looks as though you have tapped the intake manifold. Now if you could restrict the air coming in at the air breather you will pull more from the vaporizer, and not have to run so much pressure pushing it to the engine.

  • real cool some good ideas i can use for my gas vaporizer thanks 2

  • Your problem is timing control. The knock is pre detenation before top dead center. The only reason it runs is momentum. To correct the timing in this case you would have to be able to manually advance the camshaft to accell/ decell the engine. However, you could end up with a runaway diesel and when that happens, its not pretty lol.  More then likely you will bend a connecting rod if you continue without timing controls. Nice concept tho.

  • @pjckac1 The "clanking" can't be fixed. The ignition timing will not be accurate if the diesel runs on fumes (sorry for the redundant comment)

    Without the injection pump squirting at the right moment you will have a situation similar to leaving the distributor loose on a gas engine, lots of pinging /backfiring etc. Try piping the mix through a gasoline engine I wanna see if that works, it should.

  • the long hose would act as a condenser. what a pair of morons, diesel injector pumps operate at very high pressure and vaporize the fuel. you have no way to control the stociometric ratio. your ghetto vaporizer cannot create the pressures you are reporting. you have no understanding or partial pressure gas law. you might want to start with PV=nRT
