Fuel vaporizer for engines

Claim 1

In a fuel vaporizing device for an internal combustion engine having a carburetor with fuel and air mixture feed and supply means, engine block, and exhaust gas system, the combination of a heavy, thick plate means having perforations and passageways extending over substantially the central area of said plate, said perforations being drilled through a central circular portion of said plate, said passageways being formed within the thickness dimension, in a generally diamond-shaped, or rhombic, pattern around said perforations, gasket means sealing the central perforated area to means connecting said perforated area within the fuel and air mixture supply means, said passageways in said plate communicating with the periphery of the plate at opposite sides thereof with conduit means communicating the passageways at one side of the plate with the exhaust manifold, and conduit means communicating the passageways at the opposite side of the plate with the carburetor whereby reduced pressure in the carburetor will induce flow of exhaust gases through the passageways in the plate to utlize the waste heat of the exhaust gases to vaporize the fuel enroute to the engine.
