alky tee in

[redhotrod]

has anyone tried teeing in alky or water into the main fuel line? Would this be a bad idea because of cycling back to the gas tank? Or would injectors not like this?

I just remembered why I don't live in Ohio any more.

No nobody has 'tried' that one, for the reasons you described.

Would be cool to put some C-116 in there for a 12 second run!

redhotrod,

Let's re-visit this for a second. What about putting a 5 gallon tank of C-116 in the trunk, and using it 'on demand' for running a quarter...

The major problem would be, in a system that returns fuel to the tank it came from would be shutting off the original fuel lines, and opening up new feed, and return lines to the new tank.

Is there an electronic valve that would, in one operation, block the input pump gas line and allow the C-116 to flow into the system in one turn?

Another valve like this could work for the return line.

I know that this was not the original topic, but sometimes one idea can build on another, and end up being something worthwile.

Perhaps thisw would be too expensive to do, but I'd like to look into this some more. Anybody have some ideas?

for the above post, would the pickup trucks with 2 fuel tanks that have FI use that type of solenoid. I wouldn't think it would only return fuel to 1 tank?

Yeah that's a good idea. I was thinking along the same lines. After doing some research, it looks like a gas solenoid used to supplement the fuel flow in NOS systems could be an alternative.

One could shut off the stock fuel pump. and activate the aux. fuel pump, and with a 'T' connection, and a gas soledoid, inject C116 into the fuel rail. (naturally you need a tank, and pump to do this) Problem is the left over C116 would get re-circulated into the original gas tank (not a totally bad thing) .

Off the bat this looks like a fairly inexpensive way to boost octane for those 'special times'.

BTW the solenoid costs $100.

Also I found a Mitsubishi set up that includes a sender, fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator that one could adapt to a fuel cell. I don't know the cost on that yet..

Seems like that if you were to shut the stock pump off, all the C-116 would make into the fuel rail at 100 percent of it's octane. It would be interesting to know how much of it would get recirculated back into the tank of the original fuel system.

Now if we could find a valve to shut the recirculating line off,.. on demand..., the system could deliver all the C-116 to the injectors.

Now that would be cool!
