Abstract
The performance of an engine is improved by forming a magnetic field in a portion of a fuel line leading to the engine and causing fuel to be burned in the engine to traverse and interact with the magnetic field. The magnetic field is formed through use of a magnet which is oriented so that its South pole is adjacent the fuel line and its North pole is spaced apart from the fuel line. The magnet is embedded in a U-shaped body of non-magnetic material which is adopted to fit over the fuel line.
