The present invention provides a novel apparatus and method for the gasification of liquid petroleum fuel (gasoline), that has been atomized and emulsified with atmospheric air, by implementing a multi-Stage Heat Exchanger System.

The first stage employs a spigot mounted carburetor or fuel injection unit, positioned in a straight line laminar flow path, flowing into an exhaust gas heated Shell and Tube style heat exchanger unit. In the second stage, the already heated gasoline vapor mixture then flows into an attached compressor housing inlet of a Draw through Turbine Heat Exchanger Compressor component, which through an impeller means, further heats and compresses the vaporous air and gasoline mixture. The third stage, utilizes an Exhaust Gas Heat Exchanger Coil or alternative Heat Exchanger Sphere, which is fitted internally, into conduction heated metal open plenum style intake manifold. The heated gaseous air and fuel vapor mixture then flows into the engines valve controlled cylinder head intake ports, and into the engines combustion chambers. The heated air and fuel mixture is maintained in a dry homogenous gaseous form. The entire flow path of atmospheric air and gasoline vapor mixture is consistently kept heated in a uniform manor after leaving the carburetor or fuel injection unit, until it enters the engines combustion chamber. This eliminates condensation of the gaseous gasoline vapor back into a liquid form.

The intent of this invention is to greatly increase the efficiency, fuel mileage and power output, and also to significantly reduce automotive exhaust emissions, from an internal combustion engine.

An injection device for an internal combustion engine is described, which has a first fuel injector for injecting fuel having a first fuel composition based on ethanol, and a separate second fuel injector for injecting fuel having a second fuel composition, which differs from the first fuel composition, the injection device having a heating device for preheating exclusively the fuel having the first fuel composition and injected by way of the first fuel injector.
