A combustion improving device and a combustion improving method for an engine improves the combustion of an internal combustion engine such as a Diesel engine and can reduce noxious emissions, such as sooty smoke, or nitrogen oxides. To achieve this, magnetic poles of two magnets 2 are arranged in proximity to confront each other, so that fuel fed from a fuel tank to the engine is guided to pass through a gap 3 between the magnetic poles. At this passage, magnetic force (an attractive force or a repulsive force) per unit area to act between the confronting magnetic poles is set at 0.15 kgf/cm.sup.2 or more, and a time period for the fuel to pass between the confronting magnetic poles is set at 1.7 seconds or more.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A combustion improving device for an engine for disposal in a fuel feeding path to the engine wherein fuel is fed at a rate up to a predetermined rate, comprising:a housing having at least two magnets with confronting magnetic poles arranged to confront each other, said housing and said at least two magnets defining a fuel passage between said confronting magnetic poles of said at least two magnets;said at least two magnets having a sufficient magnetic field strength to generate a magnetic force per unit area acting between said confronting magnetic poles being equal to or greater than 0.15 kgf/cm.sup.2 ;said at least two magnets being disposed a distance apart such that said confronting magnetic poles are disposed relative one another within a range in which the magnetic force per unit area between said confronting magnetic poles increases substantially in proportion to a decrease in said distance; andsaid housing and said at least two magnets being dimensioned such that a time period for the fuel to pass between said confronting magnetic poles at said predetermined rate is equal to or greater than 1.7 seconds.
