A fuel system of the gaseous type utilizing the gas such as propane, methane or the like, wherein gas, preferably in liquefied form, in a tank carried in the trunk compartment of a car, for example, is taken from the tank in gaseous form and conveyed to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine of the car at very low pressure, through a feeder gasket installed between the carburetor and the intake manifold. Thus it does not require modification of the existing carburetor or replacement thereof, and when installed for alternate use with an existing conventional type gasoline fuel system, means are employed for selectively switching from one system to the other.

A gaseous fuel system for an internal combustion engine comprising a tank for holding gas in liquified form under substantial normally high pressures deemed risky under the hood of an internal combustion engine, a discharge fitting on said tank exposed at all times, inwardly of said tank, to gaseous

A gaseous fuel system for an internal combustion engine comprising a tank for holding gas in liquified form under substantial normally high pressures deemed risky under the hood of an internal combustion engine, a discharge fitting on said tank exposed at all times, inwardly of said tank, to gaseous atmosphere within said tank, when said tank has such liquified gaseous fuel content to assure gaseous discharge at all times despite said pressurized liquified content, a discharge line from said discharge fitting and terminating in means for flow coupling said line to an intake manifold of such internal combustion engine, and a pressure regulator connected in said line in proximity to said tank for reducing such normally high tank pressures to materially lower values deemed safe when supplied at such low values to such internal combustion engine.
