Ford Model T - Heated Air Intake



As you can see above, the Model T automobile engine heated its air for the carburetor by passing the air over the exhaust manifold with something called a hot air stove, which then piped the hot air through the hot air housing to the carburetor.

There also appears a mechanism near to the carburetor that regulated the air temperature of the fuel air mix traveling in the intake manifold from the carburetor, which was called a hot spot control valve with an assembly known as the hot spot along with the hot spot inlet and outlet tubing.

The above devices would appear to help to vaporize the fuel before it was used in the engine.

fuel mileage

Good info.Ive got some experience in this field.I had a nieghbor who made a vapor carb/tank and it was the most ugliest contraption you can imagine but it worked.He played around with it for awhile but never very long which is a shame because getting the bugs out of things is whats needed.
I have been able to do mileage increases by heating the fuel before the carb and was able to get a constant 25 miles t o the imperial gallon out of an old Buick.Probelem was getting the heating right so you dont stall at a traffic light but through trial and error we did it.Just took a fuel line and wrapped it around the heater hose a few times.I did the same to an older Datsun diesel and had improvements on the mileage very noticable but a slight power drop.I ve also done the fuel blending thing and running different fuels.Ran a 85 ford 6.9 diesel on waste vegetable oil as well as a Chinese diesel genset for a few years.Tricks to everything but if you keep at it and use common sense then it can be done.
Todays engines should respond better to the vapour fuels and last longer because of much better metallurgy.
Great stuff.
