Carburetor
:''"Carburation" redirects here. You may be looking for carburizing or carbonation.''
A carburetor (American and Canadian spelling), carburator, carburettor, or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It is sometimes colloquially shortened to ''carb'' in North America or ''carby'' in Australia. To carburate or carburet (and thus carburation or carburetion, respectively) is to blend the air and fuel or to equip (an engine) with a carburetor for that purpose.
Carburetors have largely been supplanted in the automotive industry by fuel injection. They are still common on small engines for lawn mowers, rototillers, and other equipment.
==Etymology==
The word ''carburetor'' comes from the French ''carbure'' meaning "carbide".〔(American Heritage Dictionary, via Answers.com )(Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 ''Carburer'' means to combine with carbon (compare also carburizing). In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fluid by mixing it with a volatile hydrocarbon.
