I discovered the same problem when I experimented with a gallon-size pickle jar bubbler-type evaporative carburetor. The lighter fraction came off first, then I was left with the heavier portion. At the time, I didn't really think about the need for increased temperature.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

This would be awesome to hook to an automobile didn't Tom Ogle build a carburetor similar to this idea. Very cool 😎

👍👍👍

interesting....thanks

Would making the glass jar out of copper alleviate the problem of too cold a temperature for evaporation of the gasoline ??? Just thinking out loud.

If it was warm outside, it probably would. I'm using glass so I can see what's going on.

Report back after testing with a hair dryer on low-medium heat... Good luck!

I need less restriction in the plumbing for something like that to work. The heat gun I tried I could set to low (250 watts), but even with the fan on high, there wasn't enough pressure. Still, something to think more about...

very cool. what about a hair drier for the air source?

I tried an air heat gun, but it didn't have enough air pressure, but something to think more about.

You can run a gas engine on the same wick carburetor system and you don't need the air pump. Gas engine draws vacuum.

I put one together with the wick system instead of the bubble or heat system . It runs a gas gene great at super efficiency levels. However in my experience the wick system still leaves u with stale fuel left over like the bubble or heat method .

Interesting. Using a torch first as the gas vapor consumer, I figured I could narrow in on problems easier. So far I found that if I applied a little heat from my hot air gun, the torch would still burn until the wicking filter paper is almost complete dry. I know if I place a drop of gasoline on a cold piece of steel, (even if it was -20˚F), all of it evaporates. So I would still think it would be a matter of having enough surface area, and enough heat to keep delivering enough gas vapors to be useable. Anyway that's what I'm working at.

@@doubleMinnovations my mistake aswell the heat method doesn't leave it stale it's just a bit dangerous . So I have high hopes for your wick/heat method of vapour carb. I know bubblers are bad for making fuel stale .

I had the same experience with bubblers, though some say they got them to work. I only seen one other who tried a kind of wick vapor carburetor about a decade ago. And did pretty well on his lawn mower. Just don't know the 'untold' story.
