ABSTRACT:
A fuel reforming system for an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel circuit connected at its downstream end to the engine and including a carburetor for producing a rich air-fuel mixture and a fuel reforming reactor vessel containing a catalyst for facilitating a catalytic reformation of the mixture into a reformed gaseous mixture rich with free hydrogen. The carburetor is provided with an air intake passage having a venturi into which a nozzle feeds the fuel from a float chamber to produce an air-fuel mixture. The nozzle has an open-bottomed end providing a fuel-metering orifice. A needle valve is movably mounted on the float chamber to control the cross-sectional area of the fuel-metering orifice in the nozzle in accordance with the temperature in the engine or the reactor vessel, whereby the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture produced by the carburetor is adjusted according to the engine or reactor vessel temperature.
