Patent ID: 8726852

Claim:
A fuel activation method, comprising (a) saturating liquid fuel with a gas in a cartridge-type absorber to provide a liquid fuel/gas composition; (b) feeding said liquid fuel/gas composition to an internal combustion engine; (c) combusting a first portion of said fuel/gas composition; (d) feeding a second portion of said liquid fuel/gas composition that is not combusted to a heat exchanger; (e) producing a reduced temperature second portion liquid fuel/gas composition by reducing the temperature of said second portion; (f) mixing said reduced temperature second portion liquid fuel/gas composition with said liquid fuel/gas composition; (g) removing evaporated gas in said reduced temperature second portion liquid fuel/gas composition and said liquid fuel/gas composition mixture in a liquid fuel/gas separator; (h) forming a composition in which evaporated gas/fuel vapors has been separated from liquid fuel/gas mixture by the liquid fuel/gas separator; and (i) feeding the composition produced in (h) back into the internal combustion engine.
