Abstract
Generating centrifugal action by forcing a stream of petroleum fuel admixed with water along a fixed spiral path, separating the inner and outer portions of the stream, settling out the water in the outer portion, and recombining the two portions less the settled out water. This is particularly useful in a fuel line from which most of the fuel is continually recirculated to the fuel tank.
