Warmed fuel

I ran across this website discussing warming fuel to improve economy.

Search throught the forums I see diamondlarry had completed a warming mod but no results were ever posted. Has anyone else tried this to confirm?

I have had great success in this sort of thing with +50% FE ., but i dont want to discolse my details.
Suffice it to say that its too difficult to implement on mpfi engines and the manufacturing side of my mod was complex.

I would think that a simple line of coolent running to the fuel rail, and a heat pipe that was tuned to start cooling it again if/when it got close to the vaporization point work work really well, and be extreamly simple to make for a MPFI system.

Try it and see

Hey this is common practice for diesels. They do it more because the fuel likes to be warmer so they pass the fuel past the oil with a heat exchanger and it opens and closes a valve to allow more fuel to pass as it needs more heat. The fuel pump pumps about 1/2 gallon a minute and obviously doesn't burn it all and dumps the rest back to the tank, although it all runs through the fuel filter. I checked and after a long drive the fuel tank is quite warm.

With diesel this isn't a big deal but I would think with gasoline this could be pretty dangerous, but if done correctly you would think it would improve mileage.

I believe the setup on my car was warming the fuel too much and was causing driveability problems. Check out Fran's results with warmed fuel at www.hydrogen-boost.com. Most people see about a 10% or so improvement.

I can't find anything about Fran's warmed fuel. But it's interesting hydrogen-boost.com's product seems quite similar to a water injection device that Popular Mechanics tried with much less than success they promise. http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...32.html?page=4 They then go on claim that the product produces Brown's gas... what a notion. Guess there's no need for gasoline anymore.

Here is a fancy looking fuel warming device :

I have no opinion on it, just providing info.

I just sent them an email requesting info for their products. Could be interesting.
