A method of fuel treatment and distribution for an internal combustion engine including the sequence of steps as follows: (a) heating a catalyst bed reactor to a start-up temperature using exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine being operated on atomized alcohol; the catalyst bed reactor including a partial combustion catalyst and an alcohol dissociation catalyst; (b) vaporizing liquid alcohol to form alcohol vapor; (c) mixing the alcohol vapor with a fixed flow rate of air to form a partial combustion mixture, the flow rate being substantially fixed at about the flow rate required for adiabatic dissociation of the alcohol vapor at the flow rate of the alcohol vapor during idling of the internal combustion engine; (d) contacting the partial combustion mixture and the partial combustion catalyst and the dissociation catalyst to form a hydrogen-rich fuel; (e) mixing air and the hydrogen rich fuel to form a total combustion mixture; (f) burning the total combustion mixture in an internal combustion engine.
