ABSTRACT:
A fuel treatment device treats fuel prior to combustion in order to improve combustion efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions in hydrocarbon fuel burning systems. The fuel treatment device includes at least one element comprising tin, antimony, lead and mercury that is brought in contact with fuel to be treated. The element comprises the following percentages by weight: 60-80% tin; 15-30% antimony; 2-7% lead; and 3-12% mercury. In a further preferred embodiment, the element comprises the following percentages by weight: 70-75% tin; 15-30% antimony; 2-7% lead; and 3-12% mercury. In a still further preferred embodiment, the element comprises an alloy including approximately 75% wt tin, 21% wt antimony and 4% wt lead, wherein 0.5 kg of mercury and 0.020 kg platinum is added to 5.0 kg of the alloy. The fuel is treated as it comes into contact with the element.
