This is why this belongs in unicorn land. Missing inventions, "It has been said" more likely in a science fiction than in science, a grand conspiracy. Trust me there is more money to be made in improving efficiency than there is to be lost. Meaning big oil or whoever you think is suppressing this miracle, would happily branch out and make vapor fuel systems if there was any science to it. Trust me, it's not like it hasn't been studied and tried. Worried about having to pay some patient? China could give a crap and would greatly benifit from improvements in ICE efficiency. So what happens is it becomes like a religion to those that try it, and they then completely lie and hide their real results refusing to admit them. It's one thing to keep trying and another to fake results. I just hope you don't go down that path. Build your system but in the end allow sceptics to verify it. Test emissions, test power, carefully measure fuel. Your idea of keeping the stock FI in place is already a red flag. That is a common way to hide a vapor system that doesn't make any power. Why I'd like to see the vapor mowers cut wet grass as well. Put a tiny, low power motor that is immune to emission requirements in a car and I bet any automaker out there could do a 100mpg car. It won't accelerate, it won't hardly go 60 mph, it won't go up a hill, NOX will be through the roof, and in your opinion they will end up dead in a plane wreck and the car will be stolen from the warehouse.
