A method and apparatus to improve the fuel utilization of internal combustion engines by inducing a magnetic field in the fuel before it flows into a carburetor or fuel injector system. Aluminum or steel fittings connect a rubber fuel line between a fuel pump and a carburetor or fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. A magnet assembly having one or more permanent magnets is secured against the fuel line so a preselected pole is in contact with the rubber fuel line. A rubber shield or wrap surrounds the magnet assembly and the portion of the fuel line in contact with the magnet assembly to shield the magnetic field about the fuel line. The one or more magnets direct a magnetic field toward the fuel line to induce a magnetic field into fuel flowing through the fuel line. The magnetic field induced in the flowing fuel is believed to ionize the hydrocarbon fuel to increase combustion efficiency, thus, increasing fuel economy and decreasing fuel emissions.

A fuel conditioning apparatus for attaching to a fuel line conveying fuel from a fuel source to a fuel distribution system of an internal combustion engine, comprising: a magnet assembly comprising at least one magnet lying adjacent a longitudinal portion of the fuel line to provide a magnetic field about the fuel line; a rubber shield substantially surrounding the magnet assembly and the longitudinal portion of the fuel line to shield the magnet assembly and a magnetic field induced in fuel flowing in the longitudinal portion of the fuel line; a focusing bar of ferrous steel lying adjacent the longitudinal portion of the fuel line in a substantially diametrically opposed portion from the magnet assembly; and the rubber shield substantially surrounds the focusing bar.
