Abstract
A fuel control system for gasoline operated vehicles includes a metering device connected to the fuel line for controlling the rate of flow to the carburetor to permit a normal rate under ordinary driving conditions and an increased rate of flow under accelerated conditions with a filter being connected to the fuel line upstream from the metering device to prevent blockage of the main metering valve in the metering device and a second filter downstream from the metering device to act as a auxiliary reservoir.
