My next experiment (possibly insanity)
Okay, so I've come to the conclusion that apart from a few things that I haven't done yet to the Green Machine, there is little left of the things I've been researching to improve efficiency without doing more work than I feel like doing, so I'm now looking at things in the engine and trying to figure out if there's something easy that I can do and I think that I found it.
The combustion point of gasoline is 470 degrees fahrenheit. I keep seeing various figures about what the bp is of gasoline. Judging by what I'm reading, it's somewhere between 100 and 437 degrees. The most common figure that I'm seeing is around 250 degrees.
There are a few pipes and hoses running from the engine to the back of the car. Conveniently, the gas line and exhaust are pretty close at times. I intend to measure the operating temperatures of various parts of the engine over the next few days to see if there's a nice spot where it's consistently around 300 degrees and that is close to the fuel rail. When I find this I intend to wrap the gas line around it in order to vaporize the gasoline, therefor expanding it in order to put a smaller yet faster burning bit of fuel into the engine for cleaner combustion.
Is this going to propel my mileage to new heights or make he Green Machine a time bomb?
