Abstract
A fuel system especially designed for use with an internal combustion engine or the like in which fuel system is operable therewith to provide fuel fumes or vapor to the engine from a source of liquid ignitable vaporizable fuel, such as gasoline, of sufficient quantity whereby to significantly increase the efficiency of the engine and thus substantially increase the per gallon mileage rate for the engine when used in an automotive vehicle or the like, and one using liquid fuel as the original fuel source. The system includes improved means for fuming the liquid fuel.
Claims4
A fume tank adapted for use in providing vaporous fuel to fuel delivery means of a gasoline powered engine, said tank comprising an enclosure adapted to receive in the bottom thereof a pool of liquid fuel, means for transmitting fluid including atmospheric air into said enclosure from exteriorly thereof, means coacting with said transmitting means for insertion of liquid ignitable fuel into said transmitting means responsive to the actuation of said engine, means for removing vaporous fuel from said enclosure for transmittal to associated fuel delivery means of the engine, means disposed above the liquid pool and coacting with and mounted on the lower end near the outlet of the transmitting means for dispersing fuel-air mixture from said admitting means into said enclosure in a swirling-like effect, and other means coacting with and mounted on the opposite end of the transmitting means for reversing the direction of the swirling-like effect to the fuel air mixture in said enclosure prior to its being supplied to the means for removing the vaporous fuel.
