ABSTRACT:
This invention is concerned with carburetion of gasoline for the purpose of reducing the consumption of gasoline and preventing pollution. The procedure for carrying out this function is by evaporation and osmosis. In the lower chamber of the carburetor where the liquid gasoline is located are immersed a plurality of special tubes. The tubes have in their lower portion on the inside surface an absorbant material, and wicks extending therefrom. In the upper portion of the tubes where the wicks are located, there are a plurality of lateral openings. The gasoline is located in a lower chamber where the tubes are immersed. The upper portion of the tubes are not immersed in the gasoline. When the motor is turned on, the intake valve opens and air is drawn through the air filter in the carburetor and down into the tubes. The air contacts the wicks in the tubes, vapor is formed, and passes through the openings thereof into a chamber which has a protective material located therein. From this chamber, the vapors of gasoline pass into the intake tube and are metered by the butterfly valve for delivery to the manifold and distribution to the cylinders of the engine. There is also provided a valve in proximity to the intake arrangement to insure the release of any back pressure which develops during a backfire. This valve is designed to open automatically and release the pressure so as to prevent damage within the carburetor.
