Abstract
A fuel intake system for supplying an internal combustion engine with a fuel vapor/air mixture without the use of a carburetor or fuel injectors. The fuel intake system includes a tank holding fuel and an evaporated fuel vapor. An air inlet tube and a vapor outlet tube are coupled to the tank. A vapor conditioner is coupled between the vapor outlet tube and the engine. The vapor conditioner has a vapor conditioner throttle body with a butterfly valve. The vapor conditioner regulates the fuel vapor/air mixture by selective positioning of the butterfly valve.
