Patent ID: 8490583

Claim:
A method of applying nanoparticles to an interior of an internal combustion engine to increase the efficiency of said internal combustion engine, said method comprising: providing a lubricating composition comprised of a plurality of particles, wherein at least a portion of said plurality of particles have a size of at least 1,000 nanometers; dispensing said lubricating composition within a volume of fuel in a fuel tank of a vehicle; allowing said lubricating composition to mix with said volume of fuel, wherein said plurality of particles deposit on a bottom of said fuel tank; driving said vehicle thereby creating movement of said fuel tank and abrading said plurality of particles to create a plurality of nanoparticles having a size less than 1,000 nanometers; transferring a portion of said plurality of nanoparticles via a fuel delivery system of said vehicle to an internal combustion engine of said vehicle; and lubricating said internal combustion engine with said portion of said plurality of nanoparticles.
