Carburetion

Vehicle Emissions. Gasohol has some automotive exhaust emissions benefits because adding oxygen to a fuel leans out the fuel mixture, producing less carbon monoxide [630-08-2] (CO). This is tme both for carbureted vehicles and for those having electronic fuel injection. 

Blue gas, or blue-water gas, so-called because of the color of the flame upon burning (10), was discovered in 1780 when steam was passed over incandescent carbon (qv), and the blue-water gas process was developed over the period 1859—1875. Successfiil commercial appHcation of the process came about in 1875 with the introduction of the carburetted gas jet. The heating value of the gas was low, ca 10.2 MJ /m (275 Btu/fT), and on occasion oil was added to the gas to enhance the heating value. The new product was given the name carburetted water gas and the technique satisfied part of the original aim by adding luminosity to gas lights (10). 

Miscellaneous Fuels A variety of gases have veiy minor market shares. These include reformed gas, oil gases, producer gas, blue water gas, carbureted water gas, coal gas, and blast-furnace gas. The heating values of these gases range from 3.4 to 41 MJ/m (90 to 1100 Btii/ftq. They are produced by pyrolysis, the water gas reaction, or as by-products of pig-iron production.

As the important effect of temperature on NO formation is discussed in the following sections, it is useful to remember that flame structure can play a most significant role in determining the overall NOx emitted. For premixed systems like those obtained on Bunsen and flat flame burners and almost obtained in carbureted spark-ignition engines, the temperature, and hence the mixture ratio, is the prime parameter in determining the quantities of NOx formed. Ideally, as in equilibrium systems, the NO formation should peak at the stoichiometric value and decline on both the fuel-rich and fuel-lean sides, just as the temperature does. Actually, because of kinetic (nonequilibrium) effects, the peak is found somewhat on the lean (oxygen-rich) side of stoichiometric. 

Hydrogen sulfide in manufactured gases may range from approximately 2.30 g/m (100 gr/100 ft ) in blue and carbureted water gas to sever hundred grains in coal- and coke-oven gases. Another important sulfur impurity is carbon disulfide, which may be present in amounts varying from 0.007 to 0.07 percent by volume. Smaller amounts of carbon oj sulfide, mercaptans, and thiophene may be found. However, most of the impurities are removed during the purification process and either do not exist in the finished product or are present in only trace amounts. 

I am still looking fora suitable carbureted, non-smog, pre-1975 vintage donor car. In California, cars built prior to 1975 are smog test exempted, so then no government agency would know that I have a car running on water.
