A fuel system for an internal combustion engine of the piston type vaporizes liquid fuel such as gasoline and delivers the same through inter-communicating control valves, one of which is responsive in operation to inlet manifold pressure in the internal combustion engine and the other responsive in operation to accelerator linkage controlling the internal combusion engine's operation. The system's principal point of novelty is a hot fuel gas generator which combines a heat exchanger preferably electrically energized and a communicating valve which is responsive in operation to inlet manifold pressure. The system includes a device for delivering liquid fuel to the hot fuel gas generator and means establishing communication between the inlet manifold pressure responsive valve, the accelerator linkage actuated control valve, and an adaptor block mounted on the inlet manifold of the internal combustion engine. A conventional carburetor may be carried on the adaptor block along with a conventional air cleaner as known in the art. A blower may deliver hot air under pressure to the air cleaner and another device delivers a controlled amount of hot water vapor as steam to the carburetor when a predetermined number of revolutions per minute of the engine is reached. |
