Running on fumes....actually works!

This kind of stuff is usually accompanied by a conspiracy theory about the big oil companies.

more theories.

how he did this:



shitty truck had a short to fuel pump so the guy hard wired a switch to it, bypassing the fuse/relay box.



starts truck, runs like any normal vehicle does.



when he puts his hands over the tubes, buddy shuts off switch that sends power to the fuel pump. motor starves and dies.



we need more scientific literacy in this forum.

Kickindian posted what seems to be the closest to a legit sit citing real world results, and actual investment companies (but dropping it due to no patent...duh)



could this be yet another "who killed the electric car" theory?



could you just imagine if this was cleaned up, and engineered into something that would be mass produced for the everyday man?



it would literally change the world.

It's a super easy mod...someone else needs to try this.

But I don't buy the 200mpg tho...that's rich.

I don't believe it either. The engine stalled because he starved it for air, not fuel.

200 miles a gallon running their cars on vapors.

Bullshit.

any more info on this? i would love to do this with my dads toyota just for the fuck of it

[bastianshaw]

thats pretty cool

[Mr. Burns]

Interesting.

Would this not mess the air/fuel mixture and cause the engine to run lean?

Regardless...

Pretty interesting/hillbilly innovative
