ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for supplying air-and-gasoline vapor mixture from the ullage space in a gas tank above the gasoline therein through a safety cannister and a shut-off valve to two "gang" valve assemblies that divide the vapor into individual flows that are delivered directly to the intake valves of the individual cylinders of a piston-and-cylinder engine, by-passing the carburetor and the intake manifold. The gas tank is aerated through a vent pipe having on one end an air filter open to outside air and on the other end an aerator submerged in the gasoline, and the fuel-vapor mixture is directed into the intake ports of the intake valves by heat-resistant nozzle tubes.
