The manner in which the suctionof air is effected necessarily has as marked an influence on the operation of the engine as the supply of gas, since air and gas constitute the explosive mixture.
The use of suction gas-producers in particular caused considerable trouble at first owing to inexperience, so that even now many hesitate to adopt them despite their great economical advantages.
Resistance to the suction of air should be carefully avoided, for which reason the length of the pipe should be reduced to a minimum, and its cross-section kept at least equal to that of the air inlet of the engine.
