NOVELTY - The pretreater device comprises an exhaust conduit (20) having a first end and a second end, an exhaust plenum at the second end of the exhaust conduit, a volatilization chamber interposed in the exhaust plenum, a volatilization unit for volatilizing the fuel in the volatilization chamber, a heated processor tube through which the volatilized fuel flows, a cyclonic activator, a magnetic processor rod (28) mounted in the processor tube around which the volatilized fuel flows as it flows through a reactor tube, and a space between the magnetic processor rod and the heated processor tube.    USE - The pretreater device is useful for pretreating an alternative fuel to provide a suitable fuel for combustion in a fuel burning apparatus such as an internal combustion engine and to increase the efficiency of the device, where the fuel is a hydrocarbon consisting of crude oil, waste petroleum, used paint thinner, used motor oil and organic solvents (all claimed) and the fuel burning apparatus further includes furnances, boilers and turbines.    ADVANTAGE - The pretreater device is capable of rapidly and easily pretreating the alternative fuel with reduced fuel consumption thus increasing the efficiency of the internal combustion engine.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The pretreater device comprises an exhaust conduit (20) having a first end and a second end, an exhaust plenum at the second end of the exhaust conduit, a volatilization chamber interposed in the exhaust plenum, a volatilization unit for volatilizing the fuel in the volatilization chamber, a heated processor tube through which the volatilized fuel flows, a cyclonic activator, a magnetic processor rod (28) mounted in the processor tube around which the volatilized fuel flows as it flows through a reactor tube, a space between the magnetic processor rod and the heated processor tube through which the volatilized fuel flows forming a reaction zone for creating reacted fuel, a magnetic flux generator presently that converts a magnetic field into electric energy, an exhaust bypass unit for diverting a portion of the exhaust gas from the exhaust conduit through the fuel, a removal unit for removing the volatilized fuel from the volatilization chamber, and a magnetic solenoid for accelerating the reacted fuel into a fuel intake system of an internal combustion engine (11). The first end of the exhaust conduit is connected in fluid communication with an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine to receive exhaust from the internal combustion engine. The volatilization chamber receives thermal energy from an exhaust passing through the exhaust plenum. The electric energy is used to create alternative fuel with the use of an electrolysis cell. An inlet unit is used for directing the reacted fuel into the intake system of the fuel burning apparatus. The heated processor tube is mounted in the exhaust conduit such that flow of volatilized fuel through the processor tube is countercurrent to the flow of exhaust gases through the exhaust conduit, is heated by exhaust gases passing through the exhaust conduit, and is mounted coaxially and in spaced relationship in the exhaust conduit. The volatilization chamber is heated, and is connected to the exhaust conduit downstream of the reactor tube, where heat from the exhaust gases heats the volatilization chamber. The exhaust bypass unit includes a steamer plate in the volatilization chamber for bubbling the exhaust diverted into the volatilization chamber. The reactor rod is mounted coaxially and in spaced relationship in the reactor tube. The spaced relationship between the reactor rod and the reactor tube forms the reaction zone. A control unit is used for selectively controlling each of the exhaust bypass unit, the removal unit, and the inlet unit. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for pretreating a fuel and water to make it usable in fuel burning equipment.
