An automatic thermal pressure regulator and balancing system adapted for use in an internal combustion engine having a fuel supply conduit connecting a fuel supply and a carburetor. The regulator includes a hollow housing interposed with the fluid supply conduit between the fuel supply and the carburetor. A metallic tubular member is disposed within the housing and includes an inlet disposed in fluid communication with the fuel supply conduit and a pair of outlets communicating with the interior of the housing. A heating element is mounted within the tubular member for heating the fuel flowing between the inlet and outlets of the tubular member. First, second and third co-linear chambers are formed within the housing, with the first and third chambers filled with a metallic mesh material and the second chamber filled with a catalytic agent material reactive with the fuel. Fuel entering the housing flows through the tubular member and is heated by the heating element before exiting into the interior of the housing. The fuel then flows through the first, second and third chambers of the housing before passing through the outlet of the housing into the carburetor. In an alternate embodiment, synthetic fuel in the form of a cellulose nitrate suspension is added to the conventional fuel in predetermined quantities.
