To provide a method and an apparatus for modifying a fuel oil such as heavy oil/light oil, applicable to existing apparatuses and facilities, usable even in a low-temperature environment and capable of improving the gas mileage at a low cost.
The invention provides a method and apparatus for improving combustion efficiency and gas mileage by kneading/burning a component containing at least one kind of substance comprising nickel/nickel oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, silver zeolite and germanium/germanium oxide to metallic silicon (N-type, P-type or a mixture of N-type and P-type silicon), bamboo charcoal and sodium silicate and contacting the burned material with a fuel such as light oil, kerosene and heavy oil containing fine bubbles generated by a micro-bubble generator, thereby generating an oxygen-containing compound in the component of the fuel.
