A fuel heating apparatus for carburetor-equipped vehicles which includes a vaporizer box provided with a fuel level control for maintaining a level of fuel therein, and having an air inlet and a fuel-air mixture outlet, and further fitted with a cold fuel inlet line and a cold fuel discharge line, a hot fuel inlet line and a heat exchanger for heating fuel recycled from the vaporizer box and subsequently recharged into the box, the apparatus further including a mixing chamber for receiving the fuel-air mixture discharged from the vaporizer box and more completely mixing the fuel and air prior to introducing the charge into the carburetor. The fuel heating apparatus is designed to improve the fuel efficiency of carburetor-equipped vehicle engines and to extend fuel mileage capabilities of the vehicles. The system can be quickly and easily adapted to substantially any carburetor-equipped vehicle currently on the market, and is particularly well suited to gasoline engine systems.
