Perfect Gas Fuel
Will there ever be a perfect gas mileage car?
By that I mean a car that gets very very good gas mileage and one that can burn multiple fuel types. It would be great cuz when the alternative fuels are more readily available I could save $$$ by using the bio diesel, ethanol 85, hydrogen, etc. If they haven't made one yet why not? And can we ever get the oil companies to stop buying out these great inventions only cuz it threatens their lifestyles and cash income? Just asking.
The problem with a flex-fuel vehicle that can handle a large number of fuels is that different fuels require completely different fuel systems. It's possible to run ethanol and gasoline - and methonal, for that matter - through the same lines and injectors. But hydrogen, propane, and CNG all require different storage tanks and different injector sizes. You'd need three or four fuel tanks to handle it all. And then diesel and bio-diesel require higher compression ratio than spark ignition fuels.
I don't put much stock in the claim that oil companies actually buy up miraculous mileage improving gadgets. After all, to pull that off, they would either need to bribe the auto companies with an amount equal to the sales they'd make if they came out with such a technology, and track down all the independant inventors and buy them out before either the auto companies or the mainstream press got wind of it. Quite an operation.
And if they bought the patent rights, they would be sitting on a timebomb - seventeen years, and the blueprints for it would be public domain and anyone could copy it, while if they paid an inventor to keep quiet, they would have no legal recourse if somebody else invented the same thing.

Yamaha FZ750 fuel overflowing?
Just wondering if anyone can tell me why fuel is coming out of the left 2 carbs overflow. All the carbs have been rebuilt not too long ago and running just perfect. I installed a dynojet stage 3 kit filters and exhaust as well. Is this just happening because its very low on gas? And I mean its really dumping fuel. I have gone over the float valves and float levels. Just seems to still be leaking, however it doesn't leak when its revving high on the choke. Any suggestions would help.
Thanks
Bike doesn't leak when its not running. After about 10 seconds of running with the choke off is when it'll start.
the only way fuel will leak out of your overflows is if the float needles are not seated.You may have some dirt in the feed line.
