Reader looking for information on the Fish carb
Published Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Back in the 1920s, an inventor named Robert Fish developed a carburetor that made Detroit’s fuel systems obsolete.
The fish carb greatly increased gas mileage. Auto racers used it for several years but the auto manufacturers were not interested. Postal inspectors accused him of fraud without ever bringing a single charge against him. A little later, an inventor named Charles Poque invented a carb that got 125 miles per gallon. In a secret action, Poque and his carb disappeared. It was later reported he was living like a millionaire in Florida. No one has heard a thing about this carb for the last 65 to 70 years.
Two qualified inventors have proven that the chemical structure of water can be changed to produce a fuel capable of cutting gas consumption in half. Do you think the oil companies are interested? A California inventor has invented an engine that uses no fuel. In tests, it has powered cars for an extended period of time without fuel or even a battery recharge.
It could conceivably power every car, train, truck, plane and boat in the country without one drop of gas. It could also heat and cool every home, but do you think the government or oil companies are interested in it? My reason for writing is this: Does anyone in readerland know any thing about any of these carbs? Contact me if you do.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by chipmunk (anonymous) on March 25, 2008 at 1:42 p.m. (Suggest removal)
To all chipmunk fans and enemies. I have decided to resume posting at the Fergus Falls Daily Journal site. You can all stop sending me emails pleading for my return. You should all understand however that it may be necessary on occasion to read my posts with lightening speed before the Carrie Nation types with her Bible and hatchet, in the editorial department get to my post. While watching “A Wonderful Life” we are reminded that every time you hear a bell tingle, an angel gets his wings; and every time a chip post is removed a fairy gets a freckle.

As I was told by my father the fish carb worked only on salt water fish with the exception of lutefisk, because it kept getting plugged up with minnows.

It is indeed good to have you back chipmunk, and sharing your wealth of scientific knowledge.

Sure, 5 comments and only one has to do with the original letter, sort of.;) I've heard these storys of fantastic fuel economy but have never seen any proof. Back when, some people had water injectors for gas engines and did get a little beter economy, but the engines at the time were very slow running. It did make a difference, so I've been told.
