A fuel system for an internal combustion engine of the piston type vaporizes liquid fuel such as gasoline and delivers the same through a series of intercommunicating control valves, two of which are responsive in operation to inlet manifold pressure in the internal combustion engine and another of which is responsive in operation to accelerator linkage for controlling the internal combustion engine's operation. The system includes a hot fuel gas generator which is preferably electrically energized, a device for delivering liquid fuel to the generator and tubes establishing communication between the generator, the inlet manifold pressure responsive valves, the accelerator linkage mechanical 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 device delivers air under pressure to the air cleaner and another device delivers a controlled amount of water to the adaptor block. The gaseous state of the fuel produced by the generator represents molecules at the greatest degree of separation from each other providing the greatest opportunity for contact of the reacting species in the gaseous conditions as chemical reactions occur only between particles at the atomic or molecular level and it is necessary for the reacting species to be in actual contact at the time of reaction. The fuel system enables complete combustion and elimination of atmospheric pollutants common in the operation of internal combustion engines and substantially increases the energy obtained from the fuel.
