Abstract
A fuel supply module for furnishing gaseous fuel to a liquid cooled internal combustion engine includes a pressure regulator for reducing gas pressure from a relatively higher tank pressure to a relatively lower pressure required for induction into an engine, and a heating chamber surrounding at least part of the pressure regulator. The flow of liquid coolant into the module is controlled by means of a temperature controller which senses the temperature of the coolant within the heating chamber and which controls the amount of coolant flowing through the heating chamber in response to the sensed temperature so as to control the amount of which is transferred to the gas flowing through the fuel supply module.
