Abstract

Upon the premises that carberation does not provide for substantial vaporization of the fuel to be combusted, this invention discloses a fuel vaporizer inserted in the air and fuel passage with liquid droplet feedback via a sieve providing a venturi effect in combination with a flow driven spinning bowl providing a centrifugal liquid return to the sieve for cycling of the liquid fuel until vaporization.
