What is a fuel vaporizer?
Answer: It is a device that breaks fuel molecules down to smaller particles, (preferably a vapor) so that the combustion process can take place on a more complete level. The hope is that fuel efficiency can be increased by reducing the wasted, unburned fuel that otherwise would leave out of the exhaust.
How does it accomplish that?
Answer: There are nearly a dozen different ways to turn liquid fuel into a vapor. Many systems rely on heat, others on catalytic metals (such as platinum), some even ultra sonic waves. Just putting liquid fuel under a vacuum will cause it to vaporize.
What effect do these systems have on a vehicle's performance?
The results achieved by many successfully designed systems are extremely positive. Because of the fact that liquid fuel does not make it into the cylinders, but rather a completely burnable fuel vapor, the following are just a few of the benefits that are realized:
- Near-zero emissions levels. In one publicly documented El Paso Times newspaper report of Tom Ogle's vapor system, he is showing an emissions test readout done on his 1970 Ford Galaxie at a local car dealership. His vehicle was not equipped with a catalytic converter, yet at 1180 rpm achieved readings of ZERO parts per million of hydrocarbons, and only .10 percent of carbon monoxide. These emissions levels are rarely reached by a brand new car equipped with every available emissions device.
- Very smooth idle quality. Ogle was able to get his Oglemobile 351 cid V8 engine to smoothly idle down to 300 rpm without stalling.
- An engine that experiences virtually no wear. Oil that won't get dirty for thousands more miles than usual. Liquid fuel is the main culprit in causing internal engine wear and the buildup of carbon and sludge deposits. It washes past the piston rings during a cold engine startup and dilutes the oil. This causes it to break down and lose it's ability to lubricate and seal the rings, in turn promoting what is called blowby. This is when the combustion chamber fuel charge is ignited, and the enormous pressure in the cylinder can't be contained by the rings. It causes the gases to get past the piston and contaminate the oil even further. On a fully functional vaporizer system, the amount of liquid fuel contaminating the oil and engine is practically nonexistent.
- The most important item of all: The most successful vapor systems have increased gas mileage 10-fold. What does that mean exactly? It means that if your car got 20 miles per gallon on a conventional carbureted or fuel injected system, with a properly designed vaporizing system, you'd be able to reach 200 miles per gallon! Tom Ogle's system is the most widely publicized unit in the last 30 years. In several newspaper articles, he claimed to get 160 miles per gallon in his V8 Ford. The press documented that he easily got 100 miles per gallon, even though he ruptured a vapor hose on the way back in and lost a bunch of stored vapors during one of his demonstrations.
If these systems really work, why aren't we using them?
The U.S. Government owns at least 5 patents for fuel vapor systems. Oil companies own at least 15, and car makers own at least 94. If they were to admit these things work, many people would have to come up with a lot of answers. Oil company profits are at an all time astronomical high as they just continue unabated to rip us apart with their price gouging. They are by far and away the most powerful financial entity on the face of the earth. Do you think for one moment they care about you? They will continue to rip you off until the end of time if they are allowed to. The U.S. Government gets around $6 in taxes every time you fill up. Imagine if you only had to fill up every 3 months, instead of every week. Do you think the bureaucrats are going to give up their golden goose, YOU the consumer?
