Anti-detonation fuel delivery system

A liquid fuel processing and delivery apparatus used in combination with an internal combustion engine comprising:

• at least one combustion region for said internal combustion engine,
• an induction air flow for said at least one combustion region of said internal combustion engine,
• a source of said liquid fuel,
• at least one liquid fuel metering device coupled to said source of said liquid fuel, said liquid fuel metering device delivering metered quantities of said liquid fuel in a close stoichiometric relationship with said induction airflow for said at least one combustion region,
• a liquid fuel, size limited droplet-producing device coupled to receive said metered quantities of said liquid fuel and deliver a stabilized fog of liquid fuel droplets having a maximum predetermined size to said induction airflow,
• a housing sealed against any external source of gas and enclosing said fuel metering device and said liquid fuel, size limited droplet-producing device, incorporating said liquid fuel metering device and said liquid fuel, size limited droplet-producing device into a single, discrete component,
• whereby when said stabilized fog of liquid fuel droplets having a maximum predetermined size are ignited in said combustion region, said liquid fuel droplets burn completely within said close stoichiometric relationship.

A fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine having an engine controller for controlling a flow of liquid fuel in accordance with induction airflow and comprising:

• a pressurized supply of liquid fuel,
• at least one fuel metering and processing apparatus further comprising:
• a housing coupled to said pressurized supply of liquid fuel,
• a liquid fuel metering device within said housing and responsive to said engine controller to provide metered quantities of said liquid fuel in a close stoichiometric relationship with said induction airflow,
• a liquid fuel fog-producing device in said housing, said liquid fuel fog-producing device receiving said metered quantities of said liquid fuel from said liquid fuel metering device, and processing said metered quantities of said liquid fuel into a fog of liquid fuel droplets of a maximum predetermined size, said fog of liquid fuel droplets provided to said induction airflow.
