ABSTRACT:
This device relates to a novel system for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine. The system includes a two-stage evaporator serially mounted within the fuel supply system of the internal combustion engine. The evaporator includes a first stage having fuel supply orifices to inject fuel at the top of a chamber in which are mounted a pair of spaced thermal discs having numerous holes therethrough. The evaporated fuel is then conducted to the second stage of the evaporator where it is further expanded in a spiral tube heated by, for example, exhaust gases and then conducted to a venturi stack via a vapor control regulator valve and fuel supply manifold to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. Use of the system results in increased gas mileage as the high degree of vaporization of the fuel results in a much greater efficiency in the burning thereof.
