ABSTRACT:
A fuel charging system injects liquid nitrous oxide into the engine of a high performance vehicle to provide an instant burst of power to the vehicle. A supply cylinder of pressurized liquid nitrous oxide is connected by an outlet conduit to the vehicle engine. A cylinder of nitrogen gas under a considerably higher pressure than that of the nitrous oxide is connected to the nitrous oxide cylinder by an inlet conduit. The nitrogen gas inlet conduit and nitrous oxide outlet conduit are connected to the nitrous oxide cylinder by an adapter valve. The nitrogen gas passes through a pressure regulator located in the inlet conduit and maintains a high pressure blanket of gas above the nitrous oxide in the cylinder to force the nitrous oxide from the cylinder and into the engine at a constant and sustained rate eliminating the heretofore rapid drop in the supply pressure of the nitrous oxide as the supply of nitrous oxide is dissipated from the supply cylinder.
