debit.servus said:To alleviate the safety concerns when it comes to a vaporized fuel delivery system, we can learn from how wood gas is piped to the intake manifold in cars equipped to run on wood. Fashion 3-5" PVC (depending on engine size and airflow requirements) piping from the bubbler to the intake manifold, coating the inside with suitable product so the gasoline fumes don't dissolve the PVC. If it makes you feel better, shield the PVC from heat in the engine bay somehow.
Seal the connections the right way for permanent use. Rig the Carburator so throttle and rpm are controlled with air intake (my Carburator knowledge is fading away).
If the fuel pump is mechanical and can't be disabled/removed/ran dry set up a recirculating fuel loop (if the car is equipped with fuel return line of equal size to fuel delivery line) between the gas tank and vaporizer, this should agitate the gasoline to maximize vapors (test this at your own risk). Also, make sure to leave original fuel system intact and tied in (with servo on/off valves controlled in cab) to fall back in case of vaporization system failure.
These are just thoughts on how to build a permanent and SAFE gasoline vaporization system, that isn't some jerry rigged time bomb.
Again, plan to confirm with an old lawn mower and the Honda genset before going back to a carbureted gas engined van. Don't want to spend a few grand on a used van only to find out it doesn't work/scale up/etc.
Plan B is to run on propane using standard BBQ tanks.
Debit, none of the following is a personal attack on you, but needs to be said. You talk about this stuff as if you have experience, but it's all just a mixture of academically contrived theories and YouTube conspiracy notions. These insanely efficient gasoline vapor platforms don't exist.
Now, I'm perfectly happy to be proven wrong. In fact I would be excited (!) to be proven wrong, because that would mean efficient transportation for us all. But as it is this is all just stuff you're talking about with no practical experience. New users might be misled into thinking you're giving real advice because it sounds like you know what you're taking about, but the truth is you have no practical experience and that makes giving this advice irresponsible.
I would ask that you please present these notions as unproven academic theories in the future, or provide real, practical, first-hand experience of a working example.
