The present invention provides a fuel treatment apparatus for magnetically treating
fuel flowing through a fuel conduit. The fuel treatment apparatus essentially comprises
an upper magnet assembly, a lower magnet assembly, and a fastening assembly. The
magnet assemblies each comprise a magnet positioning cradle, a magnet, and a magnet
cover plate. Each cradle comprises a pair of seat flanges upon which the magnets
seat. The cover plates maintain the magnets in seated engagement within the cradles
and a uniform magnetic field is directed orthogonal to the planes in which the
seat flanges lie. Each cradle further comprises a conduit-receiving groove. When
the magnet assemblies are fastened to one another via the fastening assembly, the
conduit-receiving grooves cooperatively form conduit-receiving apertures. The typically
linear fuel conduit is receivable through the conduit-receiving apertures and thus
the fuel treatment apparatus is designed to magnetically treat fuel flowing through
the fuel conduit.
