ABSTRACT:
The invention encompasses methods, compositions of matter and devices used with fuel combustion apparatus for treating fuels prior to combustion by flowing such fuels into intimate contact with one of a variety of metal alloys formed from refractory ores including platinum group metals and rare earths. At least one of the metal alloys of the invention is contained within a housing through which the fuel is caused to flow, thereby contacting the fuel with the alloy with a resulting decrease in pollutants and increased fuel utilization on combustion of the fuel. Fuels useful with the invention generally include hydrocarbon fuels such as diesel, gasolines, propane, butane, natural gas, etc., which are burned not only in internal combustion engines but also in other commonly used combustion apparatus.
