Let’s all meet at the school on Tuesday, July 15th at noon. I can then show you all how it works and give you a list of the things that you will need to build one. Then we can schedule another date on July 22nd at noon, so we can build them in the lab and install them in your cars.

It is a little tricky to determine how much fuel is used. I put the gas nozzle in and held the handle about half way until the pump shut off automatically. Then I ran to GR and back (75 miles). I went back to the same pump and re-filled it exactly the same way and it took 1.6 gallons to fill it. Some quick math shows about 47 miles / gallon. When I tried this without the device hooked up in the car, I came up with 30 miles / gallon. That is a 57% increase in mileage.

I would like to keep testing it and making adjustments, but if anyone is interested, we could set up a meet time at my house or at school and I can show you what I have.

I was thinking about mid-July??
