Abstract
Abstract A fuel system constructed to furnish gaseous fuel, rather than liquid fuel, to an internal combustion engine. The delivery system converts liquid fuel to its gaseous state by lowering the pressure on the surface of the liquid, thereby causing the liquid to boil thereby providing the vapor which is fed to a venturi and thence into the intake manifold.
