A system for feeding gasoline fuel into a gasoline burning internal combustion engine is disclosed herein along with its method of operation. In accordance with this system and method, gasoline fuel in a liquid state is supplied to a vaporization chamber where it is vaporized and thereafter directed to the engine for combustion therein. In order to prevent this vaporized fuel from condensing back to a liquid, a supply of air is preheated to a controlled predetermined temperature and directed into the vaporization chamber where it combines with the vaporized fuel and is passed with the latter to the engine.

A system for feeding gasoline fuel into a gasoline burning combustion engine, said system comprising: means for supplying gasoline fuel in a liquid state from a supply tank to a vaporization chamber; means for providing a stream of preheated air and directing said preheated air into said vaporization chamber; means including said vaporization chamber for vaporizing said liquid gasoline in said chamber whereby the vaporized gasoline and said preheated air combine within said chamber; and means for directing said combination of vaporized gasoline and preheated air to said engine, whereby said preheated air prevents said vaporized gasoline from condensing to a liquid state before reaching said engine, said vaporizing means including a housing defining said vaporization chamber therein and including means for receiving said stream of preheated air and liquid gasoline and directing said stream into said chamber, a plurality of vaporization plates, each including a member located within said chamber and having a front and back side and means for directing a portion of said stream entering said chamber onto the front side of one of said members and a portion of said entering stream onto the front side of a second one of said members, whereby at least some of the liquid gasoline impinging on the front side of each of said members is vaporized and carried through the member by said preheated air.
