Abstract: A carburetion system for an internal combustion engine includes a fuel heater and vaporizer unit which produces a 30% liquid/70% vapor fuel mixture for delivery to the carburetor, and a flow control valve connected to be responsive to the ported vacuum pressure in the carburetor to increase the flow of heated and vaporized fuel to the carburetor when the ported pressure decreases, and decrease the flow of such heated and vaporized fuel when the ported pressure increases. The air drawn into the carburetor as a result of engine operation is further heated to a temperature within the range 160.degree. F. to 180.degree. F., by thermister controlled heating elements. In operation, the flow control valve works in conjunction with the carburetor float chamber to provide varying amounts of heated liquid fuel and heated vaporized fuel for mixing within the carburetor with the heated air, to enhance combustion within the engine and produce a corresponding reduction in exhaust pollutants.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having three valves per cylinder includes a novel fuel injector that produces a heated 30% liquid/70% vapor fuel mixture at the injector's outlet. This heated fuel mixture combines with air heated to a temperature within the range of 160.degree. F. to 180.degree. F. by thermistor controlled heating elements prior to entering a combustion chamber. To help reduce pollutants and increase efficiency of the engine, a methanol/water vapor mixture is further drawn through a PCV line and combined with the air/fuel mixture prior to entering into the combustion chamber.
