ABSTRACT:
A simple, inexpensive apparatus for introducing a mixture of vaporized fuel, air and combustion supporting particles to an internal combustion engine to improve combustion efficiency and to reduce emissions of incompletely combusted hydrocarbon fuels is provided. The apparatus includes a single chamber for containing a volume of liquid fuel and a volume of vaporized fuel, a supply of combustion supporting particles disposed within the chamber, a conduit for supplying liquid fuel to the chamber, a conduit for supplying air to the chamber, a liquid level controller for maintaining the volume of liquid fuel in the chamber within predetermined limits, and an outlet from the chamber for conveying a mixture of vaporized fuel, air and combustion supporting particles to a vacuum inlet of an internal combustion engine. The disclosed apparatus is utilized in a combination including an internal combustion engine and a fuel system therefor, to improve the fuel economy of motor driven vehicles.
