 Halfbakery: Boiled Gasoline Engine
Such designs generate a fraction of the horsepower of a gasoline engine, because the less-dense charge results in lower mass of charge per fired cylinder...and this is with considerable *cooling* of the charge from the temperature drop that occurs when gas is released from pressurized storage conditions.
The gasoline that continually passes through the fuel lines on your vehicle will not stay in one place long enough to become heated to its boiling point; especially as it is already under pressure to the tune of 30-60 psi, depending on the system.
A gasoline engine needs, if anything, to retard the burning of the fuel untill the crankshaft is closer to 90 deg instead of TDC to promote more rotational energy instead of wasting it by forcing the conectind rod directly into the main bearings.

  Chevron - Gasoline Engines and Selected Systems
For conventional engine technology, which encompasses most of the vehicles on the road today, it is useful to understand the combustion cycle and engine structure as well as the set of interconnected systems.
Gasoline-powered automotive engines are internal combustion, spark-ignition engines that burn fuel in an enclosed chamber — the cylinder — that is integral to the engine.
Engines generally are separated into two distinct pieces, the cylinder head and the block (Figure 5-2).

 History of Hybrid cars | Hybrid Cars
Until recently, as higher gasoline prices, diminishing oil supplies and concern on environment and pollution increase, manufacturers have begun to seriously look into these systems again and hybrid cars gaining popularity and acceptance.First official milestone of hybrid technology is a patent application filed by American engineer H.
One model ran on alcohol, and there was another version with what has been described as a gasoline-turbine engine; in those times, the term "turbine" sometimes meant "generator."General Electric also produced electric cars in 1898 and 1899 and built a hybrid with a four-cylinder gasoline engine in 1899.
These were known as Lohner-Porsches, and later the company produced a line of vehicles in which a gasoline engine drove a generator, which in turn provided the electrical juice for the electric motors.

A brief retrospective of the early years of the history of the automobile is followed by a description of the principles behind the operation, management and control of a gasoline (spark-ignition) engine.
Descriptions of the cylinder-charge control, fuel-injection, ignition, and catalytic emission-control systems provide a comprehensive overview of the control mechanisms which are essential to the operation of a modern gasoline engine.
Particular emphasis is placed here on the diagnostic functions, which, on account of the ever more stringent requirements of emission-control legislations, make up an increasing proportion of the Motronic system.

 Diesel and Gasoline Engine Exhausts (IARC Summary & Evaluation, Volume 46, 1989)
Emissions of organic compounds from gasoline (leaded and unleaded) and diesel engines are qualitatively similar, but there are quantitative differences: diesel engines produce two to 40 times more particulate emissions and 20-30 times more nitroarenes than gasoline engines with a catalytic converter in the exhaust system when the engines have similar power output.
The studies are considered within six subgroupings: (i) whole diesel engine exhaust; (ii) gas-phase diesel engine exhaust (with particles removed); (iii) diesel engine exhaust particles or extracts of diesel engine exhaust particles; (iv) whole gasoline engine exhaust; (v) condensates/extracts of gasoline engine exhaust; and (vi) engine exhausts in combination with known carcinogens.
Gasoline engine exhaust particle extracts induced cell transformation, aneuploidy, chromosomal aberrations, sister chromatid exchange, gene mutations and DNA damage in cultured animal cells but were not recombinogenic in yeast.

 Gasoline FAQ - Part 3 of 4
In the 1920s, typical gasoline octane ratings were 40-60 [11], and during the 1930s and 40s, the ratings increased by approximately 20 units as alkyl leads and improved refining processes became widespread [12].
Engine management systems that adjust the octane requirement may also reduce the power output on low octane fuel, resulting in increased fuel consumption, and adaptive learning systems have to be preconditioned prior to testing.
A 12:1 CR gasoline engine at 1500 rpm would have a flame speed of about 16.5 m/s, and a similar hydrogen engine yields 48.3 m/s, but such engine flame speeds are also very dependent on stoichiometry.

Unlike in a gasoline engine in which the fuel is ignited by spark plugs, the fuel in a diesel engine ignites because of the air pressure inside the cylinders.
During the injection and mixture formation processes of a DI gasoline engine fuel may exist in either the liquid or vapour phase and it is therefore advantageous to be able to observe both phases simultaneously.
The engine was equipped with an air assisted fuel injection system and it had full optical access through a quatz liner and transparent piston crown.

 gasoline engines
One critic of the engine wrote that it was noisy, unreliable, and elephantine; that it vibrated so violently as to "loosen one's dentures." He went on to give the opinion that the gasoline motor would never be a factor in America's growing automobile industry.
Because the engine expands and contracts with heating and cooling, it is easy for joints to leak, so the gaskets have to be soft and "springy" enough to adapt to expansion and contraction.
The running engine causes the carburetor and the intake manifold to produce "vacuum power," which is harnessed for the operation of several other devices.

 The Hydrogen-Boosted Gasoline Engine
Engines designed to run on a mix of hydrogen/gasoline can see a fuel-economy gain of 20 to 30 percent with no requirement for control of harmful NOx emissions, oxides of nitrogen.
An industry-accepted virtual vehicle analysis based on engine test data indicated the potential for a 20 percent to 30 percent improvement in fuel economy for a turbocharged downsized version of the hydrogen-boosted engine when compared with conventional gasoline engines.
Additional cuts in emissions control requirements stem from the engine's ability to use only the clean hydrogen enriched charge during the cold start phase when 90% of emissions are generated in the emissions test.

 Gasoline FAQ - Part 1 of 4
Because sulfur in gasoline inhibited the octane-enhancing effect of the alkyl lead, the sulfur content of the thermally-cracked refinery streams for gasolines was restricted.
From 1970 until 1990 gasolines were slowly changed as lead was phased out, lead levels plummetted, octanes initially decreased, and then remained 2-5 numbers lower, vapour pressures continued to increase, and sulfur and olefins remained constant, while aromatics increased.
Gasolines are usually defined by government regulation, where properties and test methods are clearly defined.

 Diesel vs. Gasoline
The gasoline engine is much more common in automobiles, while diesel engines are seen in busses, semi-tractor trailers, and larger vehicles.
The main difference between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine is obviously the fuel used.
The minimum value of a diesel engine compression ratio is determined by the compression required for starting; and this compression is, to a large extent, dependent on the type of fuel used.
