Abstract
An improved electrolytic-catalytic-electrochemical series potential cell for immersion in the fuel tank of diesel and gasoline engines to effect fuel modification prior to combustion, conducive to improved combustion with attendant increased fuel efficiency and reduced deletereous emissions, using a cylindrical zinc anode carrying a tightly wound helical noble metal (preferably silver-surfaced) winding, the terminal turns of which are rendered resilient to clip over and establish spring contact with the transverse ends of the anode cylinder to insure continuous electrochemical series potential generation irrespective of wear in use and resulting gaps developed between the winding and the cylindrical anode. Preferred metals for optimum cell operation for each of diesel and gasoline fuels are presented.
