This is an older video I touched up and re uploaded. The question of the 109's range comes up a lot, so I put the answers into a video.

In the video I mention three other videos,
The 109's supercharger drive system: • Messerschmitt BF 109 Supercharger Dri...
and an explanation as to why the 109G is so much slower than the P51D:
• Why was the BF109 so slow compared wi...
and why the 109K is so dang fast, Water:Methanol Injection!
• Why was the BF109K faster than the P5...
Thanks for watching.
Important Note: Nowhere in this video do I say that there is no cooling effect from the evaporation of fuel. People seem to be "reading that in" to what I actually said. The issue I have is that there is NO benefit in terms of performance from the pressure drop at the venturi.
Evaporation of fuel does create a benefit, but that has NOTHING to do with carburetor vs. fuel injection comparisons. Either system can get that benefit and many WW2 aircraft using fuel injection do just that. Only a small amount of the fuel evaporates, and an ideal system would use direct injection at each cylinder and inject a small amount of fuel farther upstream in the intake tract, which is exactly what the Germans did in some cases. This gives the best of both worlds. However even without the vaporization, injection is still superior.
