Abstract
A system for vaporizing liquefied gas fuel supplied from a fuel tank and supplying it to an internal combustion engine includes a release path for releasing spontaneously evaporated fuel gas in said tank out of the tank. A catalytic burner is disposed in the release path for decomposing the fuel gas into hot steam and carbon dioxide. A release control valve disposed between the catalytic burner and the fuel tank selectively causes the burner and the fuel tank to communicate and to be decoupled from each other.
