Abstract
A fuel vaporizing attachment for vaporizing fuels used to power a liquid fueled internal combustion engine. Conventional liquid fueled, internal combustion engines typically include at least one fuel line, at least one fuel metering device, at least one air intake, at least one cylinder and at least one heat source, such as an exhaust manifold, a radiator or a battery. The fuel vaporizing attachment is disposed on the fuel line proximate the metering device. The fuel vaporizing attachment includes at least one fuel conduit disposed between the fuel metering device and the air intake for enabling the flow of fuel therebetween, and at least one medium for transferring heat from at least one heat source to the fuel conduit such that the fuel conduit is heated and fuel passing through the fuel conduit is vaporized prior to entering the at least one air intake of the engine.
