Abstract
A fuel evaporator for an internal combustion engine is comprised of a metallic casing which is composed of a heating plate portion and a supporting portion projecting from the outer periphery of the heating plate portion downward, a heating element fixed to the heating plate portion within the casing, an insulating and adiabatic covering member which covers the supporting portion and an electrically connecting means which connects the heating element and a battery. The supporting portion of the casing is inserted in a hole formed in an intake pipe so that the heating plate portion is exposed therewithin. Since the supporting portion of the casing is covered with the insulating and adiabatic covering member, very little of the heat of the heating element is dissipated from the supporting portion into the intake pipe. By forming the supporting portion into a plurality of strip shaped legs, the heat escaping therefrom can be further reduced.
