Every mile costs/ ideas to better the milage

He said to heat the gasoline to the point of vapor using the exaust manifold as a pre heater.

My Cobra used to do that. We called it vapor lock. Tended to kill the engine. Not a good thing. Fuel pumps don't work well pushing vapor.

The plan is to have a seprate fuel system tied into the stock one. Fuel wont be pumped as vapor. It tends to rise in pressure when vaporized anyway. We have a stand alone fuel injector system at the shop that can control 1 injector. The plan is to inject the fuel prior to a copper or stainless line that runs across the exaust manifold then through a nozzle pre throttlebody. No vapor lock that way.

My new answer for the fuel costs

What happened with the hydrogen setup?

Also, what gains did you get with the water/methanol injection system you were experimenting with?

The hydrogen settup is work in progress. Ive gotten to the point were I need to change the timming and have no way of doing so at this time. I hooked up a buddys f-150 with a generator and hes getting 100 to 150 more miles out of his tank. The water meth setup is on the back burner. I really dont have the time to play with it and do any real testing and tunning. Also the price for the methanol is more then gas, who woulda figured. Im looking at starting a corperation building trikes. Gotta go were the money is. Ive left the O2 sensors unplugged and the VX is getting much better and consistant milage buy running MAF only without any O2 readings. Id say that its due to the ethonal being mixed in gas. Ethonal causes your ECU to fatten up your mix due to the factory calibrations on the emmisions system. Did you now that most cars run fatter so theres more unburnt fuel going into your cat to make it light off easier and work better at burning off the hydrocarbons?
