Abstract
An internal combustion engine including a fuel reformation unit that generates reformed fuel based on liquid fuel and higher in octane rating than the liquid fuel and introduces the generated reformed fuel to an output cylinder. The fuel reformation unit includes a first fuel reformer that includes a reciprocal mechanism where a piston reciprocates in a cylinder, a second fuel reformer that includes a reformation catalyst, and a reformed gas passage that connects the first and second fuel reformers together. First reformed gas discharged from the first fuel reformer is introduced to the second fuel reformer through the reformed gas passage.
