There appears to be a problem with fuel vaporization in the rotary. Injecting
the fuel from the end and heating the intake manifold during cruise would be something
to try. Turn the heat off for full power. A turbo charger ought to take care
of the problem as the air out of the intercooler is still over 100 F.


Paul,

Something I have always been curious about but too shy? to ask. Safety
issues aside,
do you know if anyone has heated the fuel just ahead of the injectors in
an EFI system
to improve vaporization? At pressure, could the fuel be heated enough to
be effective
before it would start gumming up the injectors?

I have heard of it.
