  • Method and apparatus for processing fuel into an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 4044742
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an apparatus and method for forming an air-fuel mixture vapor for introduction and burning in an internal combustion engine. With this invention, it is possible to realize a more complete vaporization of the fuel and a more complete mixing of the air and fuel to form said air-fuel mixture vapor. The result is that in an automotive vehicle using an internal combustion engine, it is possible to realize more mileage from a given volume of fuel than can be realized from an engine not using this invention.
