Abstract: A fuel system especially designed for use with an internal combustion engine (10) or the like, which fuel system is operable therewith to provide fuel fumes or vapor to the engine (10) from a source of liquid ignitable vaporizable fuel. The fuel system includes an air supply conduit (36, 36', 36'', 36''') to which fuel (50, 57, 57'', 57''', 57a) can be added by a separate fuel supply line (50, 50', 100) at its upstream end and whose downstream end is connected to a container of liquid fuel (16, 16', 16''). The air, with the additional fuel, can then be treated by a swirling device (44, 44', 44''') prior to its admission to the container of fuel or supplied directly to the container where it interacts with the fuel, directly, or indirectly through a wick device (77'', 77''', 77a), produces a vapor, and exits through a collector (24, 24'), connected to a fuel supply conduit to the engine.
