Abstract: A fuel atomizing nozzle for use as a component part of a pressurized carburetor for an internal combustion engine in an automotive vehicle includes a housing forming part of the induction fluid passage through the carburetor, the housing having an inlet passage therein terminating at one end at an induction port, flow through which is controlled by a throttle-nozzle in the form of a poppet valve having a head and a stem, the stem being slidably received within a stepped valve guide bore in the housing, the guide bore having a stepped enlarged internal diameter adjacent to the induction passage to form, with the stem of the throttle-nozzle, a fuel discharge outlet, a fuel pressure regulator is associated with the housing to control fuel flow from a source of fuel under pressure to the fuel discharge outlet.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine system having a pressurized liquid coolant system whose coolant level automatically adjusts to effect rapid combustion chamber surface temperature rise on cold start. The coolant system includes a valve which automatically opens to drain coolant from the coolant system to a reservoir in response to coolant system pressure falling below a predetermined value because of temperature decrease on engine shut-off to establish a below-normal coolant level relative to the combustion chamber surface when the engine is cold and permits the drained coolant to be pumped back to the coolant system on cold start and then closes in response to coolant system pressure rise above the predetermined value because of coolant temperature increase on engine start-up to establish and maintain the normal coolant level for engine cooling.
