That has less of a bearing on the injected engines, where petrol is injected near the valve and atomized by the injector.

But back on track, I wonder why the OP has not followed up on his post.
Yes, wonder how he got on.

With regards to injection, it only works for multi-point injection.

Single point is still very much a 'smart' carb

Oh, and molecules don't get bigger............or increase their surface area.
Molecule size and surface areas is pretty well defined by science

It's the better mix that helps
