    Gasoline engine on vapors

    I ran across this as a suggested video on YouTube. Then I discovered there's 1000s of similar vids of folks doing simple mods to get 100s of MPGs out of their cars.

    This may be worth looking into. Anybody else heard of this?

    He disconnected the fuse to it.

    It kind of a cool idea. I might try that someday on my lawnmower.

    Yeah. I think all the fuel comes in thru the air intake as vapor. No fuel coming in from the gas tank or going thru injectors/carb.

    Its interesting for sure. A friend of mine has a invention from 20 years ago to drastically increase MPG.
    The car company's were absolutely not interested. Neither was the EPA. Its along similer idea as here it vaporized the fuel.

    It's all magic, or called vaproizing the fuel before the carborator, or fuel injectors. More miles per gallon, nope you only get that when you run your fuel through the magnetic inducer magic injector humma humma thingine.

    The generator would be a nice thing to try it on most people who use them regular have it down to the minute how long it lasts on a tank fuel so hooking this up would be a good test to how much longer you could get
