A fuel system includes an internal combustion engine, a fuel device and a heat exchanger. The internal combustion engine receives an air/fuel mixture and produces heated exhaust air. The fuel device receives fresh air and provides the air/fuel mixture that is received by the internal combustion engine. The heat exchanger receives the heated exhaust air from the internal combustion engine and fresh cool air, transfers heat energy from the heated exhaust air to the fresh cool air, and provides the fresh air to the fuel device. The provided fresh air is the fresh cool air that has received the heat energy.
