_ This factual report announces, rather quietly, what may be the breakthrough of the century in automotive carburetion.
It follows more than three years of research and experimentation,

In 1936 a Poque-equipped Ford V8 coupe reportedlv oot over 200

tests actually take_ place?
-many . . . was production
Covey, CRC, and
others, believe the news storiei we're valid. Ford
denies any knowledge of such tests.
COVEY DESIGN BASED ON POGUE PRINCIPLES
Like the Pogue, Covey's device vaporizes fuel through heat, prior to
induction into €ngine. There are other similarities. Is perfo-rmance comDarable? Probably, when you realize that Pogue achieved his reported milelqe
with a light cai and smill engine. and with-"clean" qasoline. Mbdern fuels aie
loaded with additives that retard mileage.
Pogue wasn't the only "super carb" inventor to reap publicitv. ln 1977 .
Tom Ogle made headlines when he drove his vapor-powered 1970 Ford
Galaxie with 351 CID engine, 200 miles on less thah twb qallons of qasoline.
Newsmen and TV crews trailed alonq and dulv reooited this ;nileaoe.
Reputable experts, according to publishEd accounfs, eiamined the Ford a-nd
claimed that no hoax existed. Ogle died in 1981 at age 26, of a drug
overdose.

In recent years, the media have apparently clamped a lid on the subject.
Why? Possibly because many giant TV-publishing corporations are controlfed bv inteiests opposed to r6ducinq pitroleumiates. There is, however,
r chang6 in the wina.'The June'83 Re-ader's Digest, and Julv'83 National
Geogrlphic, carried brief mention of two Arizoia inventorslnd their new

Govey Reports: '75 Chrysler Sedan with 4OO CID
Engine, Gets 79.8 MPG in 525 Mile Test!
Here's exciting news just received from Ray Covey, following a
road test of his new Mark 2 Vaporizer: "From El Paso to Tucson,
at altitudes from near sea-level to 6000 ft., we averaged 16.5
MPG with carburetor. On the return trip, same route, we drove
solely on vapor and averaged 79.8 MPG. Cruise Control was
used frequently, and to about the same degree, with both
systems.
"The biggest improvement (over earlier designs) was, absolutely
no power loss when accelerating or climbing grades. Performance was almost identical, with both fuel systems."
Covey was accompanied on the run by Hans Hazplezl, an El
Paso mechanic.
C.N. Pogue's Nephew Installs Covey Device,
Reveals 71 MPG, Big Pontiac, 1600 Mile Trip!
Following appearance of his national ads, Covey was contacted
by Charles N. Pogue's family, and later proviiled with neverpublished data on the Pogue carburetor. This information was,
Ray says, of vital importance in the Mark 2 breakthrough.
Recently, Covey supplied plans to Pogue's qrandnephew, Flovd
Stafford, who installed a Covey vaporizer in his'71 Pontiac (biq
V8). StafJord drove from his Nbrth'Carolina home to Winnirieql
Canada, to visit his famous relative (now in a rest home). the;
notified Covey that overall average on trip was 71 MPG!.Floyd
has since installed another unit in-a big-blcick Chevy van, reports
avqraging over /O MPG.

Recentlu. interest in vapor-carbs soareo, due larqelv to a best'sellinq
book. "seciets of the 200 MPG Carburetor." bv Alan-Willace. For the firsi
time, detailed info on the Pogue and other pitented vapor systems, was
readily available. Soon, amateur and pro mechanics evergwhere, were
workiig on their own systems. Before long, Wallace received-many reports
of extremely-high mileage with built-athomevaporizers.. Apparently, America's do-it-vourselfers were turning the key when auto-firm engineers could
not (or weie told not to?) open thle door!'
The most outstanding design to surface from readers of Wallace's book,
was that of Ray Covey, ai El Piso architect-draftsman, and former Air Force
mechanic.
BASIC DESIGN OF COVEY'S FIRST VAPORIZER
Covev's first marketable desiqn (Fiqure 2) was introduced in Manual
form. in izarlu 1982. A compact. &tinar-icat heat exchanqer enclosed a coil
throuqh which hot coolant'(or eriqine oil) circulated. Iito a small sealed
chamber at bottom, was diverted Fot exhaust gas. Gasoline, sprayed into
device, vaporized and was drawn upward by engine vacuum through ba{fle
Dlates. filters and coil. and out exchanqer top. Vapor was then sucked
ihrough a secondary throttle. and into eiistingcarburetor.
Hot, non-vapoized fuel was pumped from bottom of exchanger to a
transmission cooler, then return'ed tb gas tank {or re-use. Thiidesign
produced high, though often erratic, mileage. Also, power loss under load,
bspecially wiih high aaditive-content f uel, wIs sometimes significant. Lack of
precise exhaust heat control was, Covey believed, the problem. Also, at this
point, he wasn't sure of the correct temperature {or optimum vaporization.
Following a number of marginally'effective.modif ications, Covey came-up
with a new-design employing a separate and larger, exhaust heat exchan-ger.
(Fioure 3.) The first heai eichanqer, with its copper coil, was retained for
orefiminarv vapor-makinq, as w-as the return iuel svstem. Exhaust was
iucted into the new. secJnd exchanqer. where exhadst volume and flow,
and temperafur€. were regula.ted by 5 pre-set globe gate valve. Inside this
second exchanger was a number of steel tubes. each containing a spiral ot
iine-mesh screen. Still-moist vapor was sucked throuqh these exhaustheated tubes; the screens trapfed residual fuel dropi-ets and promptly
turned them to vapor. Only hot, dry gas exited, and was drawn into
carour.-'or.
'l'his "iulcnm" .lesiqn was a step forward. Mileage was as good or
bettei than with earlier designs, and finarly consistant. However, power loss
rras still a problem. Believing that insufficient heat was the cause, Covey
redesigned his second exchanger. The screen-filled tubes were replaced
wilh a tubular steel spiral thal presented more heating surface-within
exchanger- A simple, manually-controlled valve replaced the globe gate
valve; it"enabled the driver to'tfine-tune" temperature from inside vehicle.
This design, the Mark 1, was more efficient and easily controlled. Yet
power loss uider load, persisted. Understandably. Covey was disappointed.
He felt he was on the wrong track: that his basic system was too complicated:
that there had to be a simple solution. There was. And he found it, in
reviewinq his three-vear collection of test notes. . .his taped conversations
with Joh'n Pogue. eharles N.'s cousin. on never'published Pogue carb
details.
"suddenlv.' Rav savs. 'evervthinq fell into place. A new desiqn that
retained only the b6st fi:atures oi the-Mark 1. fldshed into my mind!"
Covev went to work. He riqhtf ullv fiqured that the second exchanger. or
SuoerTu-be as he called it. would provide all the heat needed. He iested
uatiou. propane-conversion components that had been considered earlier,
but never tested. Ray discovered ihat many of ihese parts, with minor or no
modification, worked as if made for hot vapor. Finally, he tried something
that Poque used, that wasn't qenerally known; a small amount of pressure,
carefull"y-controlled. was added
oroblem. once and for all!
to iystem. That ended the power
loss
The result was the Mark 2. It eliminates the first heat exchanger,
secondary throttle, and complex return fuel system. When correctly adjusted. it vaporizes 100% of fuel and additives!
WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS . .
.
Covey's SuperTube, heart of the Mark 2 system, is a length of pipe 12 to
18 inchei long, 3 inches in ciiameter, with closBd ends. (Size depends on
enaine CID.) Inside tube is a closely-wound spiral of steel gas-line tubing.
through which fuel passes and
is
vaporized. Exhaust gases enter SuperTube
through two openings on one side, and exit through a single outlet on
opposrte sloe.
ln exhaust outlet is a simple valve, controlled from dash, that regulates
the volume and flow-rate of exhaust through SuperTube. This, in turn,
governs operating temper*ure. A dash-mounted temperature gauge, wired
Io sensor-probe in SuperTube, indicates when valve must be opened or
closed.
Vanor flows from SuoerTube soiral into a small surqe or holdinq tank
(about size of oil filter) 'which asslres sufficient fuel fo-r sudden "h-eavy"
demand. Anv non-vaoorized additivies collect at bottom of tank and are
drained-off p-eriodically. From surge tank, vapor enters a propane metering
requlator th'at suppliei vapor acc5rding to engine demand.'Vapor is thei
driwn into presenicarburetor through a"stock p'ropane adaptor, or an easilymade inductor ring. Or, you can use a stock propane carb that fits over
regular carb and has its own air cleaner.
How to deiermine correct heat range for a given gasoline blend. . how
low pressure is introduced into system. and easily and safely controlled for
all drivino conditions. are fullv explained in Manual.
MAKE YOUR OWN OR HAVE IT BUILT
The only custom parts are the SuperTube Assembly, surge tank, and
optional va-por induciion ring. If you'have som.e metai worl-ing/welding
know how. ihe job is easy. The steel tube "spiral" is formed by winding the
tubinq around a piece of pipe. The surqe tank is a stock container or short
lengr6 of plpe. sllghtly modifled. The vipor ring is a simple tubular "donui'
witt holea in bottom. Likelv. vou can have ihese items made at a sheet metal
shop, for $75.00 or so. (Pri6es vary, so shop around.)
RAY COVEY AND CHRYSLER used
in most vaporizer tests
Make vour own custom compon€nts. use salvaged gas line. cable. etc.,
and your 6ig expense is the propine metering regulJtor '-- about $60.00. To
reallv save moneu. vou can replace this automatic meterinq requlator with an
inex6ensive (lowas $15.00)'stock valve that's hand-adpsted from inside
vehille. Normally. it requires only three settings. for: (1) city (2) highway (3)
climbing and fast acceleration. Use this option and your vaporizer, complete,
may cost no more than a few tankfuls of gasoline!

IS THE COVEY VAPORIZER "FOR REAL?''
I asked myself this question about a vear aqo, when I was invited to
market Covey's first Manual. As a reputable -technical writer and car
collector, I didn't want to get involved with some hiqh-mileaqe "scam." So. I
flew to El Paso. After thoroughly inspecting Covey's'75 Ch-rvsler, checkinq
gas and vapor lines, and.sniffing eihaustlit sm6lled like piopane), I wai
conuncecl the car clicl in tact, run on vapor.
We drove about 30 fueeway miles and the enqine ran beautifullv on its
vapor diet. Performance at all speeds up to 60 MPG was flawless, ihouqh
acceleration was a shade less, RLy said, than normal. It was hard to belie"ve
we were running on an air/f uel ratio of better than 50 to 1, with no oollutants
spewing-out the tailpipe! Other witnesses who examined the cai carefullv
before_climbing-in for road testing, were Butch Freeman, Business Editor for
the El PasoTimes; and Gary Wainer, a newscaster from KVIA TV, El paso.
Both men did favorable stories on Covey's Vapoizer.
As that now-obsolete vaporizer got its air supply from a line extending
into fuel tank (not. used in the Mark 2), the tank cbuldnl be topped for the
usual short-run mileage check. Covev stated that MPG varied, debendinq on
fuel, and that gasoline with lots of ailditives produced the poordst milelqe.
Generally, Covey said, he averaged 8 to 10 MPG in towri; 13 to 15 MPG
highway, with regular carb. With vaponzer, the numbers were 38 MPG,
town; 67 MPG, highv/ay. During thai first meeting, Covey also claimed:

Will vapor cause premature valve burning?
Newer (f rom 1974 on) vehicles have superhard valves. There's no problem.
With extremely hot vapor, valve life in older engines may be slightly shortened.
In Covey's opinion, that's unlikely with the low temp Mark 5. There's no carbon
build-up or acid contamination, so overall engine life is extended. When you're
due fora valve job, you might install the hard stellite type. (You may have to anyway, with the low-lead f uel EPA plans to mandate.)
Naylor
Vapor-Phase
Carburetor
ls there a long warm-up period betore driving on vapor?
No. Exhaust gases bring vaporizer to operational heat, rapidly (much faster
than would radiator heat). You start on regular carb and switch-over, minutes
later. When engine is still warm, after leaving vehicle, you can restart on
vapor, immediately.
Can I use water injection with the Mark 5 system?
Water no, steam yes. Water kills vapor. Steam is compatible and enhances
performance and mileage. Covey explains this, tells where you can get an inexpensive steam kit that works beautifully with the Mark 5.
ls the Mark 5 system compatible with fuel-injected engines?
No. lt was designed solely for engines with conventional carburetion.
Can I use diesel f uel, kerosene, or alcohol, in the Mark 5?
Covey has tried Gasohol and various gas/alcohol blends, with excellent
results- He has not experimented with "straight" or 60 to 80 proof alcohol, or
with diesel or kerosene. Covey believes kerosene might work He doesn't recommend trying diesel as high wax content would probably clog vaporizer.
ls underhood temperature sky high?
No. With Mark 5, because of low operating temp and insulation around vaporizer "box" and vapor hose, underhood heat is about the same, or only slightly
higher than, normal.
ls leaded or unleaded fuel besf?
Mark 5 works almost equally well with either-type f uel. Leaded gas, Covey
claims, produces slightly-higher mileage.
lf vapor system malfunctions, can I use regular carb?
Yes. The two systems share existing fuel pump but have separate carbs, and
gas lines from two-way fuel diverter valve. Systems are independent; you can
drive your vehicle while working on vapor system, when installation is incomolete.
What happened to Mark 3 and Mark 4 designs?
The Mark3 was a prototype Mark 5 unit. So many improvements were added
thal the Mark 5 warranted a separate patent. The Mark 4 is an improved Mark 2
system with modif ied, propane-type carb. Mileage may be slightly better than
with Mark 5, bul component cost will be higher. At this writing, design hasn't
been finalized.
