Abstract: The catalyst of the invention includes Aluminium, Lead, Copper, Tin, Antimony, Zinc and Nickel located to be in contact with the fuel to be burned. Each of the elements is present in a preferred concentration range by weight which varies depending on the type of fuel. In a preferred embodiment, the Aluminium forms a container having an inlet and an outlet which defines a flow path through which the fuel flows. The other elements are located in the flow path such that all of the elements are in contact with the fuel as it flows through the container.
