FUEL VAPORISATION APPARATUS

摘要

A fuel vaporisation apparatus for an engine having a manifold and a fuel metering device, including a chamber (52) which is connected between the fuel metering device and the manifold, which chamber (52) includes at least one baffle (62) therein, wherein the chamber (52) further includes means (74) for draining or removing any unvapourised fuel and impurities therefrom. The chamber (52) preferably includes at least two baffles (62, 64), each baffle (62) having at least one aperture (68) formed therein and the baffles (62, 64) divide the chamber into at least three sections. An elongated pipe connecting the apparatus to the fuel metering device may have internal ribs which promote greater vaporisation of the fuel and separation of unvapourised fuel and impurities. The elongated pipe preferably has at least one change of direction which is further preferably in a looped shape or in an S-bend configuration.
