I think the attempt is a very worthwhile effort, and you're more likely to succeed if you know what's going on and why other people failed. If you do find that you're having problems with it, I would suggest: 1) insure the ports are directed straight down the intake. If at all possible you'd like the mixture to be as far down the intake as possible before it starts settling out of mixture. 2) install some sort of turbulator/screen to improve mixing of anything that does fall out 3) ?heat the mixture to insure it stays mixed? 4) (Number 4 is left as an exercise for the reader)
