ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for treating fluid hydrocarbon fuels. The method includes flowing the fuel through a treater region defined by the apparatus including a cylindrical outer electrode positioned coaxially about an insulated inner electrode. The annular treater region is preferably filled with small dielectric beads of a selected size and having spaces therebetween of a selected size. Also, in the preferred embodiment, the electrodes are connected across the high voltage ignition circuit of a motor, such a motor thereafter consuming the treated fuel, to thereby establish a high intensity electric field within the treater region.
