Abstract

A fuel delivery system comprises a fuel conduit having a gas permeable wall. A gas conduit is in communication with the fuel conduit. Gaseous fuel and liquid fuel are communicated through fuel conduit. Gaseous fuel permeating through the gas permeable wall is captured and channeled by gas conduit. Gaseous fuel may be passed to an air intake manifold and consumed by engine combustion.
