Red Neck way of increasing your mileage - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I will experiment with my Toyota 4x4 carbureted......
Then on to eliminating Fuel Injection......

I am going to experiment with ten (or more) 1/4 inch plastic tubes submerged in gas (the 1/4 inch tubes connected to an air filter). I will use a long top to bottom cylinder for the gas vapor to generate from the bubbling air through the liquid gas. The Cylinder will contain a float valve and be connected directly to the fuel tank through a "T" after the Fuel Pump. I will close off the running jets in the carburetor except for the acceleration jets and leave the Fuel pump connected to the carb for those acceleration jets.

I will have just one connection from the top of this cylinder to the Carburetor Intake (no need for three or more separate hoses).

Damn.......I am excited

Just kidding....

New meaning to the terms "running on fumes"

probably a flatlander... sure, an engine will run super lean, but lets see that fume system push a 3000 lb car uphill.
