Automotive hydrocarbon and water vapor injector system and universal hose connector means for same

摘要

A simplified methanol or other hydrocarbon water-vapor injection system and kit for installing it with a minimum of part and effort are provided. A universal hose connector which precludes the necessity for cutting existing hoses on the automobile engine or any hose to which it is desired to connect another is also provided. This connector is constructed to pierce one or both walls of the hose into which connection is desired and place a metering orifice within that hose to thereby inject vapors or the like therein at predetermined rates and reduce vacuum pressure in side of the hose and reservoir of the injector system.
