[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3082978, member: 29706"] Seems like swampratt's method can also be applied to a fuel injected vehicle. Just have to make a heat exchange system to heat the fuel up in the rails. May have to try it. [URL]http://www.science20.com/simple_solutions_complex_problems/blog/double_your_gasoline_mileage_now_and_improve_our_economy[/URL] Some of the rest of the article doesn't do me a lot of good since I have to lug around a set of 50 pound ramps along with a 300 pound power chair in the bed of my truck but heating the fuel is much easier. I figure find a way to extend the fuel line to a point where I can coil a copper or aluminium line around it and run coolant through I can easily heat the fuel up to the engine temp of around 160 to 200 degrees depending on the time of year.
