I have a brother in law who's a mechanic and he had to go to a continued education class were they stated that your only getting about 40% gasoline at the pump and the rest are the additives that supposedly "clean" the engine. From what I've seen Coleman cooking fuel is supposedly 100% gasoline but it boils at 180, if I remember correctly, and also burns too hot for a gas engine. I've always wondered if you could take a engine and have the fuel heated to a gas at a specific pressure then feed it into a engine with no throttle body so it's like how a diesel is and see if it would run.

Also if fuel combusts at 14.5-1 air fuel at atmosphere, then could you power a engine at around 14.5-1 if it has a 10-1 compression ratio??

I've looked everywhere for a graph that shows how hot gas is at a controlled oxygen supply but haven't been able to find one!
