--- What temp to heat Gas to? ---

[trautotuning]

I will be testing the "fuel heating" myth soon.

One thing I need to know is how much to heat the fuel to, what do you guys think will be a good, safe temp? I have heard anything from 150 to 300 degrees.


-----------------------------------------------

Also If you have any ideas of how to heat (and possibly control) the fuel I will take into account any of these ideas and maybe use them.

What I am thinking is simply using the coolant, since it is always at 180 degrees.

"The colder the fuel, the larger the fuel fragments. This is why MPG drops as the temperature gets colder. However, too much heat (about 270F) may damage fuel molecules and cause knock. The optimum fuel temperature is 200F. "

"For gasoline the, Design Temperature would need to be about + 200 deg Centigrade" = 392 fahrenheit!!

"Henry "Smokey" yunick of NASCAR fame designed, built, and patented a Hot Air engine which heated the air/fuel charge to over 400 degrees F before igniting it using waste heat from the coolant and exhaust, and a modified turbocharger to act as a one way valve to keep expanding gas and air going towards the cylinders. He tested it in a pontiac fiero 2.5L "Iron Duke" 4 cyl engine and achived nearly 300 HP and 100 MPG. This car was actually featured in a number of automotive magazines back in the mid 1980's. "

I checked my thermostat and it appears to have a 195 degree thermostat btw.
