PURPOSE: To equalize resolving power in the whole position when air-fuel ratio is feedback controlled, by forming an external shape of a solenoid controlled needle valve for controlling fuel in an LPG engine in the shape such that the air-fuel ratio changes in proportion to a reciprocating movement distance of the needle valve.
CONSTITUTION: Fuel in an LPG engine, being allowed to flow in a pipe 4 from a vaporizer 2, is supplied to a Venturi 8. A valve hole 9 in a part guided into the Venturi 8 equips a needle valve 6 driven by a step motor 5. The external shape of this needle valve 6 is formed in such a manner that a mixture supplied from a carburetor 7 is in proportion to a moving distance of the valve 6 over the full stroke the needle valve 6 is moved by the step motor 5. In this way, an exhaust gas level is reduced by equalizing resolving power in any range of the stroke when air-fuel ratio is feedback controlled.
