A method and apparatus for treating liquid fuel in an internal combustion engine. The fuel treating device is connected in the fuel line leading to the carburetor or other fuel/air mixing apparatus and comprises an elongated hollow outer casing made of a magnetic material, an elongated inner casing made of non-magnetic material positioned within the outer casing and a single elongated magnet received in the inner casing, the maget having at least three longitudinally spaced apart sections of alternating, north and south polarity. Means are provided for supporting the inner casing in spaced relation to the outer casing to form an annular chamber therebetween, in which chamber the lines of flux are preferably radial. The device further includes an inlet and an outlet located near opposite ends of the annular chamber for providing fluid flow from the fuel line through the chamber.
In an internal combustion engine including fuel/air mixing means and a fuel supply line in fluid communication with said mixing means, a fuel treating device in said fuel line, said device comprising:
In a hydrocarbon fuel burning internal combustion engine including fuel/air mixing means and a fuel supply line in fluid communication with said mixing means, a hydrocarbon fuel treating device in said fuel line, said device comprising:
In a combustion process wherein a liquid fuel and an oxygen-containing gas are first mixed and then ignited, a method for treating the fuel just prior to mixing it with the gas comprising:
