Ah! Yes; everyone's favorite type of mod.
Thx.

That's a pity.

I NB that MIT etc's SynGas producing Plasmatrons are little more than giant spark plugs, fed with a tiny bit of water and fuel that's pre heated by the exhaust.
They actually look cheaper and easier to knock together than your std HHO cell and are at an efficiency that made MIT and Co commercialize them before being 'bought out'.
I'll re-look at the research if you like.

Then there's Graphite Foil which, unlike stainless steel, you can cut with a pair of scissors.
That makes making a cell way simpler.

6 cells will give you some Ozone if you want Ozone?
7 is more efficient and runs cooler.
IIRC the electrodes don't erode as easily either.

Acetone will be all evaporated in fraction of time compared to the pump fuel. Pump fuel has changed a ton since the mid 70's when it comes to evaporation and its volatility.
A pleasure pgfpro.

I have heard complaints before that pump fuel has changed.
IIRC people complaining that it no longer evaporated as it did and now left a "sticky" residue that gummed up the works.
Is this your experience too?
