Abstract:
1. A multi-phase fuel system for use with an internal combustion engine for providing a combination of gaseous vaporized high volatility components of gasoline and atomized liquid lower volatility components of gasoline to said engine based on engine demands, comprising: a fuel source which exists in a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature; a fuel delivery means in fluid communication with said fuel source for delivering said liquid fuel from said fuel source to said multi-phase fuel system; a separator means for heating said liquid fuel and supplying a mixture of vaporized lower boiling temperature components of said liquid fuel and atomized higher boiling temperature components of said liquid fuel to said engine, said separator means in fluid communication with said fuel source; an on-board computer for monitoring fuel requirements as a function of engine demand, said on-board computer in operational control of said fuel delivery means.
