An intake manifold is provided that controls swirl on entry to a combustion chamber. Each intake manifold includes a fin or rib portion positioned to reduce or eliminate swirl induced by the configuration of the intake manifold, particularly when used in a large engine having a left bank and a right bank of combustion chambers. By controlling swirl induced by the intake manifold, swirl consistency is improved between engine cylinders and between the left bank and the right bank, improving the consistency of power output and reducing emissions, particularly particulate emissions, also called smoke.

Provided is an intake manifold for an internal combustion engine, the intake manifold including an upstream portion, a first downstream portion, and a second downstream portion. The upstream portion includes a first upstream passage and a second upstream passage. The first downstream portion includes a first downstream passage configured to communicate the first upstream passage with an intake port of a first cylinder head. The second downstream portion includes a second downstream passage configured to communicate the second upstream passage with an intake port of a second cylinder head. The upstream portion, the first downstream portion, and the second downstream portion are provided in a separate manner. In the intake manifold, a flange of the first downstream portion is connected to a flange of the upstream portion, and a flange of the second downstream portion is connected to the flange of the upstream portion.

A thermal fuel delivery system includes an insertion assembly and a fuel device. The insertion assembly includes a housing defining a cavity for housing the fuel device. The housing is disposed above and coupled to a pair of frame members via a plurality of connecting members. The frame members extend laterally away from the housing. The insertion assembly further includes an intake manifold coupled to the housing via a tube. A plurality of runner tubes extend laterally away from the intake manifold and pass through the frame members at an inner portion of the frame members and terminate at an outer portion of the frame members.
