ECONOMY WITH REDUCED EXHAUST EMISSIONS: A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE

A technique is described for fully vaporising the fuel between the carburettor and inlet manifold of an automobile engine. This permits very lean air-fuel mixtures to be burnt, with the effect of reducing both noxious exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Laboratory and on-the-road tests are described, and results discussed. /GMRL/
