Frequently Asked Questions - Fuel Saver RecommendationsA. Unfortunately that is not a one line answer. Every make, model and year of vehicle is different. Please view the ER Technology Flow Chart (pdf) and the FAQs in this section. If you still have questions contact tech support. Only specific questions can be answered definitively. A. Install the basic Carburetor Enhancer. Once you have the basic Carburetor Enhancer working, then you can add an electronic upgrade to the Carburetor Enhancer (ECE), which will allows you to take precise automated control of the fuel flowing from (not to) your carburetor. Your float bowl stays full of fuel for instant power at any time. The ECE modifies the fuel output as you desire, including a deceleration fuel shutoff option. ECE plans are included with the Carburetor Enhancer Manual (CEM). Next, apply a fuel pressure regulator just before the fuel enters your carburetor. This will reduce the float bowl flooding problem that ALL carburetors have due to float bounce in the float bowl, leaky floats, bad inlet needle valves … Then apply a diesel-style fuel filter before your pressure regulator. This will help prevent the float-bowl-flooding problem caused by tiny matter preventing the needle-valve from completely closing. Ordinary gasoline filters are not good enough. A tiny bit of dirt, you can't even see, could waste gallons of fuel. See also: What other fuel savers does ER you have? What else can I do to increase my vehicle's efficiency? A. No matter what combustion enhancement technology you use, you must always install one EFIE on each oxygen sensor located before the catalytic converter(s) or you are likely to lose mileage. See also: What other fuel savers does ER have? What else can I do to increase my vehicle's efficiency? A.Install the EFIE device on each of your oxygen sensors, if you have any. Install a pressure-vacuum gauge/pyrometer on your dash (or on the steering column). This gauge will tell you what is happening to your engine and you can modify your driving habits to achieve maximum efficiency and performance. It also can tell you many things about your engine and becomes a valuable tool to applying combustion enhancement techniques. Insulate your exhaust system up to but not including your turbo. The extra heat retained in the gas going to the turbo will increase it's power by as much as 10%. Be sure to add a pre-post lube system to keep oil flowing through the turbocharger until it cools down (after engine shut-down). Apply the HyCO 2DT. This system (that you build yourself) is specifically designed to install on turbocharged engines and has been proven by independent testing by CAT and Perkins to increase the power by 10%, while reducing fuel consumption by 10% and reduces harmful emissions significantly. Then refer to: What other fuel savers do you have? What else can I do to increase my vehicle's efficiency? A. The HyCO 2A system is a simple technique to vaporize some of your gasoline using an evaporation principle. The vapor gasoline assures reliable and efficient combustion in your engine. A Basic Kit is sometimes available.
A. Add Water Injection. It can be a simple vacuum induction system (build for under $5) or it could be an 'active' system that adds more water as the engine goes under load. Water injection keeps the engine clean, enhances fuel combustion and reduces harmful emissions. See Water Injection' and 'Super Gas Saver Secrets' books for full details on adding water injection. Water injection, combined with the HyZor allows you to replace a significant percentage of your fossil-fuel with water; in a manner that increases efficiency and performance. Apply controlled fuel preheat. Done properly, this vastly enhances the evaporation of the fuel. For every fuel system, there is a maximum efficient temperature (not too hot or too cold). Insulate your fuel system from the fuel line coming into the fuel compartment to the carburetor and then put in a thermostatically controlled fuel heater (heated by electric/engine coolant) to keep the fuel heated precisely. Experiment to find your optimum. Can start at about 160°F, a degree difference could mean 2 or 3 mpg difference. See 'Super Gas Saver Secrets' book. Install a vacuum gauge on your dash (or on the steering column). These gauges can be bought in your local automotive supply store or from JC Whitney by mail order. A vacuum gauge will tell you what is happening to your engine and you can modify your driving habits to achieve maximum efficiency and performance. A vacuum gauge also can tell you many things about your engine and becomes a valuable tool to applying combustion enhancement techniques. A. For the Basic Version of the Carburetor Enhancer we recommend $20 to test the carburetor with the colortunes, $20 to install the Carburetor Enhancer, $20 to custom tune the Carburetor Enhancer and $15 for the parts. We charged $20 per hour for rebuilding carburetors that failed the colortune test. For the EFIE, we recommend $50 installation and adjustment charge. We have not worked out recommendations for the other fuel savers yet. A. The vehicle you choose for yourself is entirely dependent on your situation, as per our 'Super Gas Savers Book'. Obviously we recommend high efficiency. Any vehicle you choose can be upgraded with our technology. I like turbocharged diesels because they are efficient, long lived and can use vegetable oils as fuel. We presently (2009+) drive a 1984 Honda Civic and a 1984 Volvo station wagon because these are the vehicles that fit our present needs and we believe in maintaining vehicles to get full value from them. |
