A carbide-powered engine useful for automobiles and the like and comprising a water tank from which water is pumped into a pressure container enclosing a block of compressed carbide. Acetylene buildup in the container passes through an accelerator valve, connected to the throttle of the engine, and through an idler valve operated by an electro-magnet, both valves being spring pressed to the closed position. Upon attainment of a predetermined pressure in the manifold, the electro-magnet is de-energized to effect closing and complete sealing of the container.
