Abstract
A fuel conditioning assembly, structured to be positioned between a fuel supply and a fuel combustion assembly, and including an elongate tubular housing having an inlet end, an outlet end, and a flow through passage extending therebetween. The inlet end is coupled with the fuel supply so as to receive fuel flow therethrough into the flow through passage, wherein a turbulent flow of the fuel is initiated and the fuel is influenced by a combination of metallic elements such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, barium, calcium and/or iron, which chemically condition the fuel flowing through the flow through passage by rearranging the molecular bonds of the fuel with a catalytic effect and separating the fuel particles into a plurality of subatomic particles, thereby reducing a density of the fuel and substantially increasing a fuel burn efficiency. Further, the outlet end of the housing is coupled directly with the fuel combustion assembly so as to provide for the flow of conditioned fuel therebetween without a substantial risk of a diminishing of the effects of the conditioning.
