Vapor carburetors were a popular item 25 or more years ago. Stratified charge technology pretty much eliminated any advantage they possessed. The best one I saw was Japanese. Had a ferrite heating block under the carburetor and the curie point for the material was around 125F. The resistance rose very quickly after that so there was zero chance the heater could get stuck on like a thermostatic controlled job could and cause a fire. Very clever. The actual vaporization was done by an ultrasonic transducer and didn't require the complexity of this design shown at the website. Do you need one? The test is this> The amount of unburned hydrocarbons in your engine is what we are going to get 100+mpg from. Vaporization is to enable complete burning. You do the math. Is that much unburned fuel coming from your engine? I didn't think so.

Great link. I hope it's true. If the mileage claims are an exaggeration, he should repair them, because the rest of the story stands on its own merits. I love this guy and this link: http://www.get113to138mpg.com/HardShips.html If it's true, it's great. If it's not true, I salute his imaginative web-page construction. If it's half-true, I half-salute both.
