I have serious doubts even with numerous positive testimonials because you can also find folks that swear by the Tornado Fuel Saver, Slick 50, and gasoline energy pills. Buyer beware!

They are getting rave reviews on the Titan forum and the science appears to be sound (no gimmicky magnets here).

Morning. Changed the oil, washed the car, and put the RE070's back on. w00t!

Also by design, one reason why the fuel pump output pressure is so much higher than the fuel volume requirement for an engine is because pressure in the line raises the boiling point of gasoline (or any liquid, for that matter) and ensures that a fuel system does not suffer vapor lock in hot weather, which was an occasional problem with carbureted engines.

Vapor pressure is the "desire" of a liquid to evaporate. It's how much pressure has to develop in whatever space is occupying the container with the liquid before the liquid completely stops evaporating and reaches equilibrium. A higher vapor pressure means the liquid more readily vaporizes, and that's exactly what you need gasoline to do when it's injected into the manifold. Fuel must be a vapor mixed with gaseous oxygen to combust, or at least to combust most efficiently. But your right, vapor lock *could* be an issue, as well as volatility. And if the vapor pressue is high enough, you could have the last 10% of the fuel in your tank magically dry up and disappear when it's hot.

I think I need a day off.
Yesterday I told a guy he shouldn't be employed here since he didn't know how to do his job. Now I just told a project manager he'd better find a way to pay for an engineers travel costs because I couldn't get this latest project done without the engineer.
I gotta watch it.
