BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Because of that the electrolyte is in weak alkalinity and The present invention relates to a fueling system for the molecules of the water and KOH are sizably smaller than engine, more particularly to an electrolytic fueling system to the crevices inside the whole block so that the blocks are produce gas of hydrogen and oxygen instead of the conven entirely permeable in the electrolyte in a preferable elec tional vaporized gasoline to start an engine, which utilizes trolysis condition.

water absorbing sintered alloy blocks incorporated with a When the power is set on in maximum current, both ionic hydrolysis method to generate adequate gas of hydrogen and hydrogen and ionic oxygen are generated from the electro oxygen therein. lyte as the ionic oxygen trends to the cathode and the ionic Conventional vaporized gasoline fueling systems for 15 hydrogen trends to the anode of the electrode and then they engines or generators are known to create a great deal of conduct a neutralized reaction in the blocks prior to become waste gas of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon mixture of vaporized gas of hydrogen and oxygen belching (CxHy) which not only cause environmental pollution but out of the outmost block. The mixture then ascends through also jeopardize the ozonosphere around the earth. Scientists a plurality of drip plates entered into the segregator for a and engineers around the world are trying hard during recent process of dehydration and goes up continuously through the years to search for substitute resources for vaporized gaso acetone container for decarbonizing and cooling of prior to line in order to eliminate environmental pollution so as to becoming a dried and purified gas of hydrogen and oxygen develop battery or solar engine systems. Some of the coun gathering at the air valve which is under control of a micro tries encourage their drivers to use natural gas instead of computer will transfer the gas entered into the cylinders of gasoline to run their cars. But it is still facing a lot of an engine after it sequentially passes through the pressure problems of limitation, especially the solar engine system control device, the multi-point antibackfire device and an air which is not adaptable in raining seasons. ingress.
