An internal combustion engine with fuel injection is supplied with a portion of fuel injected at ambient temperature into a cracking reactor chamber also receiving air and, is heated by waste heat from a conventional engine component operating normally, to sustain cracking of the injected fuel so that a cracked and gasified fuel mixed with the air is output as a continuous fuel-air stream at no greater than ambient temperature to the engine intake. The fuel portion is diverted from a conventional fuel supply (79') from a single tank or fed from an additional tank of alternative fuel. The component emitting waste heat is engine coolant or the exhaust manifold (69'), according to fuel volatility. Alternatively, a first tubular section of the reactor with injectors can be mounted on the intake of a conventional turbocharger which supplies the heat sustaining cracking and forms, in effect, a second section of the reactor chamber.
