ABSTRACT:
A vaporization chamber for fuel in an internal combustion engine has a heater associated therewith that operates the chamber at an efficient super heated temperature in the range of 350.degree. F. to 400.degree. F. This chamber has baffles that direct an angular contoured flow path of fuel and vapors for increased exposure to the heat. The vaporization chamber is associated with heat sensors that control fire extinguishers in the event of overheating or fire. The vaporization chamber as well as its inlet and outlet are closed to atmosphere and include oxygen sensors to provide an alert in the event oxygen enters the chamber. Outlet of vaporized fuel from the chamber can be drawn into the engine by engine vacuum or in another arrangement a fan is associated with the outlet to assist this vacuum flow. Electrical controls under the influence of the vehicle throttle are provided to control the volume of flow of the vapor to the engine and bypass of fuel to the outlet.
