Revolutionary Prototype Car

George Parker has taken the expression "running on fumes" literally, designing a fuel delivery system that runs on fuel vapours instead of liquid fuel, allowing him to claim that his prototype vehicle can achieve an estimated 2.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway.He has designed a three-wheeled vehicle around a turbocharged 1,500 cc four-cylinder engine that showcases the company's patented fuel vapour technology. His invention raises the air to fuel ratio, which is usually 14.7:1 (14.7 parts of air to one part of gasoline) to 20:1, which helps reduce fuel usage.
