Abstract

A heating device for injected fuel in an internal combustion engine is disposed at an upper wall of an intake port. The heating device includes a casing and a plurality of fins integrally connected to a lower plate of the casing. A heater is disposed between the intake port and the casing. The fins are arranged to downwardly extend from said supporting member and along the injected direction of the injected fuel. Therefore, the atomization of the injected fuel is accelerated by the heating of the heating device.
