Abstract
A fuel supply system for a heat generator comprises means for spraying fuel into an air inlet tube, which means are branched off a fuel supply line supplied by a pump having a fuel delivery greater than the fuel comsumption rate of the generator. The fuel line extends to a constant-level chamber by way of a variable-opening throttle element controlled in dependence upon the air flow through the inlet tube, the pump intake being connected to the constant-level chamber. A bypass circuit is adapted to connect the fuel pump output to a fuel reservoir and is closed by a calibrated valve which opens in response to a predetermined fuel pump delivery rate so that the fuel in the constant-level chamber is renewed when the rate of generator fuel comsumption is low.
