ABSTRACT:
A fuel reforming system for use in an intake system of an internal combustion engine operable with a hydrocarbon fuel has a spark plug or plugs for intermittently producing spark discharges to cause imperfect combustion of a rich air-fuel mixture so that a part of the fuel is reformed into intermediate combustion products and the large portion of the remainder of the fuel is vaporized by the heat produced by the imperfect combustion, whereby the reformed mixture is made optimum for combustion to thereby enable the engine to perform an optimum operation.
