A modified internal combustion engine useful as a power plant in automotive vehicles is operated on an admixture of air and fuel vapor. An apparatus is disclosed for generating the fuel vapor from a volatile normally liquid fuel of the type useful in operating a conventional internal combustion engine having a prior art carburetor. Apparatus is also disclosed for safely handling and controlling the fuel vapor thus generated, and utilizing the same in the operation of the internal combustion engine. In a further aspect, a novel method is provided for generating vapor of a volatile liquid fuel and operating an internal combustion engine therewith. The method is also useful in modifying a conventional internal combustion engine including a prior art carburetor. The resultant modified internal combustion engine operates more efficiently and with lower exhaust emissions.
