ABSTRACT:
A fuel conditioning apparatus is disclosed for conditioning liquid fuel prior to combustion of the liquid fuel in an internal combustion engine. The fuel conditioning apparatus includes a flow passage for carrying the liquid fuel and a heating device disposed within the flow passage for heating the liquid fuel to a point below the vaporization point thereof. Also disposed within the flow passage is a polytetrafluoroethylene material for contacting the heated liquid fuel within the flow passage. The contact of the heated liquid fuel with the polytetrafluoroethylene material causes improved combustibility in the liquid fuel when the fuel is subsequently burned in the engine, thereby allowing for an increase in the fuel efficiency of the engine.
