Abstract: A method and apparatus to improve the fuel utilization of internal combustion engines by inducing a magnetic field in the fuel before it flows into a carburetor or fuel injector system. Aluminum or steel fittings connect a rubber fuel line between a fuel pump and a carburetor or fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. A magnet assembly having one or more permanent magnets is secured against the fuel line so a preselected pole is in contact with the rubber fuel line. A rubber shield or wrap surrounds the magnet assembly and the portion of the fuel line in contact with the magnet assembly to shield the magnetic field about the fuel line. The one or more magnets direct a magnetic field toward the fuel line to induce a magnetic field into fuel flowing through the fuel line. The magnetic field induced in the flowing fuel is believed to ionize the hydrocarbon fuel to increase combustion efficiency, thus, increasing fuel economy and decreasing fuel emissions.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus to improve the fuel economy of internal combustion engines by inducing a magnetic field in the fuel as it flows into a carburetor or fuel injector system. A rubber fuel line, without any metal reinforcements, is used to convey the fuel from an inlet fitting made of steel or aluminum to an outlet fitting, again, made of steel or aluminum. A magnet is placed so that its south pole is in contact with the rubber fuel line. A rubber wrap is placed about the magnet and about the portion of the fuel line in contact with the magnet to further focus the magnetic field on the flowing fuel. The magnetic field induced in the flowing fuel ionizes the hydrocarbon fuel to increase combustion efficiency, thus, increasing fuel economy.
