Hi again Greg and Kman! Good to see ya here again, Kman!
Greg, I just sent ya my lengthy reply about making a coolant/fuel heat exchanger. Pretty obvious actually, you route the hot coolant alongside the metal fuel supply line. Easier said than done, but not very complicated, it just comes down to details.
But I do agree w/ Greg, on the point that we here, are ourselves becoming a vanguard to further the concepts of fuel efficiency. Electric vehicles will be increasing. Lots of young people nowadays don't even bother to own a car, what with Uber and the like around.
However still the majority of the public, at least those who aren't Amish, rely on the internal combustion engine for transport. I think that gasoline and diesel will still be with us for some time to come. One reason is Energy Density.
On top of that, consider how many hydrocarbon liquid fuel off road engines exist. Generators, riding and push mowers, boats,,etc.etc. . While there may be new electric versions of most things powered by gas or diesel, it's gonna take YEARS until they are all replaced by electric versions.
Anyone here able to afford a Tesla?
So, our discussions and contributions become ever more valuable. One think I'll add about Mod's in general is- practicality. The Awesome thing about the Gadgetman Groove is- once one is a Gadgetman, it's not very hard to effect this incredible mod.
By comparison, the Plasma Ignition build I did on Subie years back, took many hours to figure out, then implement. Actually, right now Subie is down for repairs, it became a No Start about 2 months ago. I have a replacement ignition switch on order, I hope that's the issue. It's been so reliable for so long, that I forgot a lot of the details of all the wiring involved w/ the plasma mod, so I'm re-learning the whole deal. Subie's engine bay is cluttery and cramped without the extra Plasma related stuff. I still smile, when I remember how two different shops refused to do brake work on it when it had a problem. Both shops lifted the hood, then saw the big Diode block array in the corner, and shrank back...IT looks intimidating, if ya don't know what's up w/ these!
