[QUOTE="rollo, post: 239001, member: 2253"] true that the fuel gets heated up when it enters the hot combustion chamber. getting heated up would mean that it absorbs heat from the surrounding area like the air it has mixed with. my thinking is that if the fuel was initially cooler to begin with, it would absorb more heat from the intake air it atomises or vapourises in, cooling down the air further, making it denser. i began thinking about this when i found out from some city taxi drivers that there would be some power loss felt when running on natural gas as compared to petrol. one factor is that as natural gas did not require atomisation or vapourisation, it does not absorb heat from the air it mixes with. in contrast, petrol needs to be atomised or vapourised when it mixes with air and it would absorb heat from that air. just my thoughts...
