Supercharged Compressor Induction (Fig. 8 and Fig.
9)
This kit is used when the compressor inlet receives
its air supply from the engine supercharger.
This kit employs two adapters "A" with a gasket "B"
between them. This gasket has an orifice (see the
following NOTE) and when the compressor is loaded
(compressing air) a differential is created across the
gasket. (The pressure on the compressor side of the
gasket "B" is less than the pressure on the inlet fitting
side of gasket "B.") The alcohol will be induced through
line "C" into the compressor inlet and thus into the air
brake system. The choke fitting "D" prohibits a quick
change of pressure in the alcohol jar when a momentary
vacuum is created in the compressor air induction line by
the engine and prohibits evacuation of alcohol from the
jar. Maximum safe operating pressure is 34.47 kPa (5
psi).
Orifice size depends on compressor used,
Tu-Flo 400 compressor uses a gasket with 7.9 mm
(5/16") orifice.
Tu-Flo 500, 501, 600, 1000 compressors use a
gasket with 9.5 mm (3/8") orifice.

This kit is used when the compressor in let receives

described,
except the maximum safe-operating pressure is 136 kPa
(20 psi) which necessitates the use of a metal can.
Orifice size in gasket "B" depends on compressor
used.
Tu-Flo compressor uses a gasket with 7.9 mm
(5/16") orifice.
Tu-Flo 500, 501, 600, 1000 compressors use a
gasket with 9.5 mm (3/8") orifice.
