Abstract
A fuel economizer device adapted to be interposed between the usual carburetor and manifold of an internal combustion engine, or the like, for substantially vaporizing the fuel prior to discharge thereof into the manifold and comprising a plate member having a plurality of spaced apertures for passing the fuel therethrough, said plate being disposed in relation to the manifold for being heated thereby during operation of the engine whereby fuel impinging thereon is substantially vaporized. In addition, a plurality of spaced detents or indentations are provided on the leading face of the plate for an accumulation of liquid fuel therein which has not been vaporized. The fuel trapped in the indentations is heated to the boiling point thereof which results in a substantially complete vaporization of the fuel stream prior to discharge thereof into the manifold for distribution to the combustion chamber.
