I had one built but the v8 Chevy truck took a **** before I could try it out.
They were intended for carburated vehicles.
It was claimed that any vehicle could double fuel mileage with them.
Has anyone else here heard of them or are otherwise familiar with them?
I am thinking on trying it out on my 1989 Ford Festiva.

I watched the documentarty GASHOLE and then read the book Fuel Economy of the Gasoline Engine by Blackmore it's the Holy Grail of Ecomodding...talks a lot about running on vapors and the scientists that have built Vapor Cars for hypermiling...I've got some plans of my own, but I'm yet to do anything. I'd love to hear more about how things work out for you.
