Abstract: A system for feeding gasoline fuel into a gasoline burning internal combustion engine is disclosed herein along with its method of operation. In accordance with this system and method, gasoline fuel in a liquid state is supplied to a vaporization chamber where it is vaporized and thereafter directed to the engine for combustion therein. In order to prevent this vaporized fuel from condensing back to a liquid, a supply of air is preheated to a controlled predetermined temperature and directed into the vaporization chamber where it combines with the vaporized fuel and is passed with the latter to the engine.

Abstract: Both a system for and method of feeding gasoline fuel into a gasoline burning internal combustion engine are disclosed herein. In accordance with this system and method, gasoline fuel in a liquid state is first supplied to a vaporization chamber where it is vaporized, preferably without the use of externally applied heat. The gasoline in this state is then directed to the engine. In a preferred embodiment, the amount of vaporized gasoline directed into the engine is automatically varied, depending upon the power developed by the engine. Both an assembly for and method of vaporizing the gasoline are also disclosed herein.
