Ever notice how nice and engine will run on a rainy day?
It' you want to get the additional benefit of a rainy day for you engine combustion at the time, there is a simple device will help is a water vapour system. It will supply moist air through you PVC system. It will add best to people that drive longer than a 1/2 Hour at a time. Usually a car driven shorter times has a fair amount of water in the engine but will boil off after longer drives leaving the combustion dry and the expansion characteristics of air are far less than that of water vapour or steam generated when the fuel burns. Also the water actually cleans the engine. It is a old mechanics trick to just spray water with a spray bottle into a fast running engine to decarbonise it. This just does it a very little bit but constantly.
The best thing, it is very inexpensive and easy to build. Just buy some aquarium tubing and a aquarium bubbler, the stone type. Find a half gallon juice or pop jug with a good screw on lid or whatever size will fit under your hood somewhere. And buy a multi sized TEE to feed it into you PVC steam. Cut a length of hose long enough to go to the bubbler that will be in the bottom of the jug to a position near the exhaust to draw warm air. Drill a hole in the top side of the jug and another in the lid.
Cut a length to go from the lid to a tee connector on the PVC line. If tied in with your hydrogen boost unit, this and it should go before your PVC jar. From the PVC jar it goes to the inlet under your carburettor or throttle body butterfly. The line to the PVC line Tee gets glued right at the lid and will draw moist air from the top jug. The bubbler is placed in the bottom with it about 1/2 -2/3 full of water or water and methanol for winter use. The line for the bubbler should be placed where it can draw warm clean. This will supply the extra moisture that will help your engine run cooler and cleaner.
It is best to mount the tank lower than the point at which the joint for the tee is so any water that condenses in the hose drip back into the bottle and no chance of siphoning can occur be sure to mount it securely so as it can not tip. You can buy Hole strapping that can be made into a cage holder with nuts and bolts holding it together, that would allow for removal for refilling.
Here is a good idea compliments of Michael Hollar of the MPG Club. If you have the points ignition. Points ignition is the old style and can still be retro-fitted to some newer engines and has some advantages. You can set it your self with a dwell meter, this means no big expensive tune up. A different but good point is if some body ever put your vehicle under the influence of a strong magnetic or microwave field meant to short electronics to stop your engine. You would still be driving if you had points and a carburettor but not with an electronic ignition and fuel injection system. The heavy duty diode would probably not burn out, if it did it would probably just short and you could still drive for a while until you do burn out your points.
It is simple just eliminate the ballasts resistor or shunt wire and exchange it with a high amp high voltage diode. Just install the diode between the coil and points. You can use a separate heavy #12 AWG supply wire to the coil to ensure full voltage. Just use a relay for switching and use the present ignition line supply to control the relay.
This gives high spark out put but does not burn your points out because the diode only permits current flow in one direction. The normal function of a coil is that when you cut the power to the primary winding of coil the magnetic field collapses and the wire in the secondary winding is charged by this magnetic field. This gives you the spark to fire your plugs. The problem being is the collapsing field wants to go to any coil to energise and the primary winding regains voltage and this back lash is shorted back through the points to ground. When you use the diode this actual shorting of the energy, back feed is stopped, now all the energy is utilised in the secondary coil . The coil does not heat up with the higher voltage, because it is not shorting the energy back thru the points and they last longer too.
To determine the direction for the diode install and if it works it is right if not reverse it. If it still does not work then your diode is open. It was not high enough amps or volts. Should be at least 30 amps and 400 volt. This will increase spark and you could increase plug gap 60-80%. Higher spark better explosion better mileage less pollution.
