Hey, Rich. A friend of mine sent me this link. I'd love to have your thoughts on it. Be sure to watch the video.

A fella in Cushing, OK working for Texaco did some tinkering along these lines. Average union worker at the tank farm. One day, multi-million dollar house, new cars, yada yada. Word has it that Phillips Petrolleum, aka Conoco-Phillips bought the product and it included a no disclosure clause. Sound exactly like the device you speak of Terry.Ol'89r said:Not sure but I believe it uses the heat from the cat to preheat the fuel into a vapor before it goes to the carb or injectors.
Back in the 70's there was a company that sold something similar. It used a heat exchanger that got it's heat from the exhaust manifolds to preheat the fuel into a vapor before it went into the carb. The company claimed 60 to 80 MPG and had a patent on the device. At that time we were paying about $1.35 a gallon for gas :ohmy: and since we were traveling the circuit we were trying to save some money.
I sent for the information and received it promply. Still have it somewhere. When I tried to contact the company later, they were no where to be found. Completely disappeared off the face of the earth. I figure either the thing actually worked and the oil companys bought them out or it was dangerous and blew a few customers up. :yikes:
