TOM OGLE. (hence the term "ogle mobile") dead(murdered) inventor from late 70's from el paso who invented a fuel vapor system for automobiles. it basicly just used engine vaccum to suck gas vapors into the intake manifold.

What do you think a carb does? It turns fuel into a vapor which then gets sucked through the intake due to engine vacum.

Re: is building an oglemobile feasible?
but its not a true vapor with the conventional carbs. its just small atomized droplets. and they are burned in the combustion chamber, not exploded like they are suppost to.

Re: is building an oglemobile feasible?
You can't get gasoline to "explode" in the fashion you're referring to. Gas simply won't explode. The better the fuel/air mixture, the faster it burns. It won't actually explode, though. Why not make a hydrogen engine instead?
