I still don't get the point of trying to make gasoline into a vapor before the compression stroke on a correctly tuned motor will do it for you. If you want an easy to vaporize, safe proven fuel then why not propane?

Before it died in a flood, my car did 26:1 at cruise. All tuning.
And ditto on propane.
