Trying to make fuel vapor supply system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating a fuel vapor supply system for a gasoline engine, with concerns about safety and simplicity. Suggestions include using an ultrasonic mister, although there are worries about potential sparks. Heating the fuel to its evaporation temperature is another idea, but the simplest method may involve using a basic carburetor. One proposed solution is to run the fuel pump back into the tank to agitate the fuel and create vapor, while also incorporating a copper tubing coil to heat the fuel. Additionally, mixing HHO with the fuel vapor is mentioned as a potential enhancement.

Originally posted this in the wrong section. What would be the most basic and solid way of doing this for a gasoline engine? I've thought about using a ultrasonic mister but I am afraid that there may be a potential for a spark, don't want to blow up. I've also tossed around the idea of heating the fuel to its evaporation temps, but not sure what the simplest way would be to do this. Any ideas?

Take and run your fuel pump back into the tank to agitate the fuel to produce vapor, and run a coil of copper tubing thru your fuel tank from the radiator to heat the fuel, use your vapor return to the intake after all the censors. Do not deactivate the injectors.
 
You may also add HHO to mix with the fuel vapor.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
