ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the directed collecting and metering of volatile fuel components for an engine, including a container with a regenerable storage device for collecting volatile fuel components from the fuel store. The storage device is connected to the engine fuel inlet through a metering valve which is controlled to supply the previously collected components to optimize engine performance by a controlled feed of the volatile components into the fuel mixture according to the particular engine operating conditions. In accordance with the invention, the device controls the metering valve dependent upon the desired mixture of volatile fuel components for the particular running conditions.
