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 a primary air intake passage with a venturi into which air and fuel are fed to produce a rich air-fuel mixture. The carburetor is also provided with a secondary air intake passage bypassing the venturi and connected to the fuel circuit downstream of the venturi. A valve is provided on the carburetor to control the cross-sectional area of the secondary air intake passage in accordance with the temperature in the engine or the reactor vessel, by the carburetor is adjusted according to the engine or reactor vessel temperature.
