Results Of U.S. Navy Tests On Magnetic Fuel Conditioning Technology

The U.S. Navy conducted formal testing on magnetic fuel conditioning technology using heavily aged #2 diesel fuel. The tests involved recirculating the fuel through a fuel polishing system. This integrated system combines mechanical filtration with magnetic fuel conditioning technology. Key results from the published Navy fuel analysis report are summarized below:

MMI Engineered Systems Division – Report of Navy Fuel Analysis

In its report to the Navy, MMI stated: “Incorporating the magnetic fuel conditioning technology unit into our proprietary filtration equipment provides a total filtration solution. The first sample looked like 5-day old coffee and smelled like waste fuel. After two hours of circulation, the fuel was clear and bright and smelled like fresh fuel.”

Context and Analysis of the Results These improvements occurred after continuous, extended recirculation (approximately two hours) through the combined polishing system, which includes both filtration and magnetic fuel conditioning technology conditioning. It’s crucial to interpret the data in this full context:

• Water and sediment were reduced to zero, but this is primarily attributable to the system’s filtration and water separation capabilities—magnetic fuel conditioning technology makes no direct claim to remove water.
• Total particulate contamination dropped by a factor of about 3 (from 31 PPM to 11 PPM), and non-combined particulates decreased dramatically by more than a factor of 40 (from 4 PPM to <0.1 PPM). These reductions suggest effective breakdown and dispersion of agglomerates (e.g., asphaltene or sludge), which aligns with magnetic fuel conditioning technology’s proposed mechanism.
• Bacterial culture results are not particularly meaningful: Initial levels were already undetectable or negligible, and any reduction could be explained by water removal via filtration rather than magnetic effects.
• Fungi culture showed a more notable change (from heavy contamination to none detected). This was somewhat surprising and could indicate that magnetic fuel conditioning technology helps eliminate or inhibit fungal growth. However, fungi are typically 10 times larger than bacteria and far easier to capture/remove with standard filtration—so mechanical filtration likely played the dominant role here.

Overall, the combined “conditioning system” delivered impressive performance in restoring heavily degraded fuel to a clear, bright, fresh-smelling state. While filtration handles much of the heavy lifting (especially for water, particulates, and larger microbes), the integration of magnetic fuel conditioning technology appears to contribute meaningfully to breaking up stubborn agglomerations and improving overall fuel quality—particularly in cases of severe degradation. For best results in real-world applications, pair magnetic fuel conditioning technology with a robust polishing system and run engines (or recirculate fuel) frequently to maintain benefits. This Navy test provides one of the stronger pieces of independent evidence for magnetic fuel conditioning technology’s practical utility in diesel fuel restoration.
