Letting it feed into a larger chamber will help finish the job as the pressure drops.
Sure, but then, instead of taking heat from the air intake flow and leading to a colder air stream with a higher density and concentration of oxygen, the heated fuel vapors are going to transfer heat to the air stream and decrease its density, leading to some performance losses. Would have to run very lean and control the vapor and the air flows very accurately to avoid losing so much power.
