Patent ID: 8342159

Claim:
An apparatus for treating fuel for increasing fuel combustion efficiency in an internal combustion engine or a furnace supplied with fuel via a fuel line, the fuel line having a fuel line supply segment carrying fuel and a fuel receiving segment in fluid communication with said internal combustion engine or said furnace, comprising: a fuel containment housing having an inlet port and an outlet port; means for sealingly connecting said housing inlet port to said fuel line supply segment; means for sealingly connecting said housing outlet port to said fuel line receiving segment; a plurality of metal wire strands formed of a plurality of different metals contained within said housing; and a fluid mixing device mounted in said fuel containment housing, said fluid mixing device including a plurality of radially extending blades circumferentially disposed at intervals within said fuel containment housing to impart angular flow to said fuel; wherein said fluid mixing device includes a central cylindrical hollow hub and an annular ring about said central hub, said annular ring retaining said radially extending blades, and said hub having a second plurality of radially extending blades circumferentially disposed in said hub at intervals to impart additional angular flow to said fuel.
