Personal model.
Ingredients:
Copper shot
Aluminum shot
Zinc or Stainless steel shot
Ordinary plastic inline fuel filter
small piece of aluminum or stainless steel mesh
Optional
fancy metal screw type cleanable fuel filter
small Neodymium (rare earth) magnet
Small pice of aluminum
Recipe
make 1/2 tsp of copper, aluminum, zinc (or stainless steel) shot
by cutting approx.1/8 inch pieces of approx. 1/8 inch thick wire.
For
zinc use
ordinary galvanized chainlink fence type wire.
Buy an ordinary economy plastic fuel filter intended for the engine
you have in mind. Or use a more expensive metal screw open replacable/cleanable
type.
Insert all the shot one by one into the filter through the intake
tube. Tap it all down into the canister.
Optional: Break up a neodymium (rare earth) magnet small enough to
insert a small piece in with the beads.
Either of the following
1) Cut a small unpainted piece of aluminum from a beer can to 1/4
inch long and wide as the inside diameter of output tube. make a
longitudinal 1/2 twist in it (like a barber pole). Insert tightly
into output tube so that no bead can get through. (test this)
2) Cut a 1/4 inch x 1/2 inch approx piece of stainless steel or aluminum
mesh with holes smaller than 1/8 inch. Roll or fold it and insert
into output tube so as to prevent beads from coming through. Test
this.
Installation
Install like an ordinary extra fuel filter observing the direction
arrows - input tube toward fuel tank, output tube toward fuel pump/carburetor.
Must be located after the normal fuel filter and before the fuel
pump/carburetor. Your normal filter now prefilters the fuel prolonging
the life of the E.L.V.I.S. by slowing down clog up. Use extra fuel
hose as needed but locate E.L.V.I.S. as close to fuel pump/carburetor
as possible and stabilize it in some manner in a level position away
from heat sources.
E.L.V.I.S. will work forever and never wear out. However. Since the
EL Cheapo version above uses a paper element filter, it will eventually
clog up even with another filter prefiltering the fuel. This will
probably take years (if you change the prefilter at recommended intervals).
When it eventually clogs up...well you'll have to pass up another
Starbucks latte :-) Those who want to avoid this can use a fancy
metal screwtype filter and replace the filter element with the beads.
No clogging problem ever.
Commercial model.
Same recipe and ingredients as the personal model but with the following
modifications.
Big trucks, buses, construction machines usually use a large canister
type fuel filter with hydraulic type lines and fittings.
The cheapest method:
Fill the element canister 1/2 to 2/3 with shot/magnet so the reservoir
is ionized and then sucked through the filter.
The expensive method:
Install another fuel filter canister made as above. This involves
extra lines and fittings that have to be made by qualified hydraulic
mechanics. This is not expensive as the components are stock.
Good for all engines, marine/autos/pickups, gas or diesel.
Not LPG.
NOTE: If anyone successfully makes it work with biodiesel
of vegetable oil
like NASA says it can, please inform me at once.
LASTLY. Tell your friends. Make a link from your
website.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO COMMERCIAL, PLEASE FEEL FREE.
HOWEVER...
Please include my E.L.V.I.S.
sticker and www.THE-E-L-V-I-S.link. There's no call to feel guilty...nor
do I mean to make you feel so (really), but if ya get enough benefit...buy
me lunch.
