A method of verifying vehicle emissions includes the steps of testing a refined fuel for emissions, treating the refined fuel following the testing thereof for emissions, and then testing the treated refined fuel for emissions. The refined fuel measurements are compared with the treated refined fuel measurements to determine reduction in emissions of the fuel. This data is transmitted to a computer. The treated fuel is dispensed to a vehicle, such as a diesel truck, at a fuel dispensing station where the vehicle identification is read from the vehicle and, with the fuel data, is transmitted to the computer where the computer can match the fuel measurement data to the vehicle identification and fuel dispensing information. The process also includes the attaching of an on-board emissions monitor to the exhaust of the vehicle, which monitoring data is stored and transmitted during refueling to the computer with the refueling data. The treatment can include a combination of a magnetic treatment of the fuel while the fuel is passing through a venturi simultaneously while feeding oxygen into the fuel during treatment. Optionally, data determining reductions in emissions from treated fuel combustion in comparison to non-treated fuel combustion in a specific engine is utilized in application for monetary or non-monetary receivables in the form of emission reduction credits or the like.
