ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine has the usual gasoline tank, electric starter, cam-operated fuel pump and inlet and exhaust manifolds. The exhaust manifold is converted to a heat exchanger by running steel tubing therethrough having an inlet connected to a second electrically operated pump and an outlet connected through electrically operated normally closed shutoff valve means to the intake conduit of a standard L.P. gas carburetor. The carburetor is connected to the inlet manifold by a base plate connected through an electrically operated shutoff valve to the cam-operated pump and provided with spray jet means for supplying liquid gasoline spray to the inlet manifold for starting. An electric switch having two "on" positions is provided, in the first position battery power is provided for starting and for opening the valve to the base plate and then for holding the valve open for about a minute at which time the switch is turned to its second position shutting off the valve to the base plate gas supply and turning on the electric pump and opening the valve means to the L.P. carburetor. A gasoline collecting reservoir between the L.P. valve means and the L.P. carburetor continuously returns any liquid gasoline to the electrically operated pump intake.
