Abstract
The catalyst is provided for improving the performance of hydrocarbon fuels used in internal combustion engines. The catalyst is a based metal alloy catalyst including tin, antimony, lead, mercury and thallium in the following proportions by weight percent: Sb 18-20 Pb 4.5-5.5 Hg 12-14 Tl 0.1-0.5 and the balance consisting essentially of Sn. The catalyst operates at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. The catalyst is intended to pretreat fuel before combustion and may be disposed in the fuel tank, fuel line or return fuel line.
