Fluid fuel such as petrol, gasoline and diesel can be treated by removing at least a part of the water from the fuel, and then subjecting it to one or more magnetic fields of field strength up to 4000 gauss. The magnetic fields may are provided by a plurality of magnets arranged in sequence with the north pole of one magnet facing the south pole of an adjacent magnet. The fuel is subjected to turbulent flow conditions while passing between each pair of adjacent magnets in succession. Figure 4 shows a magnetic treatment device similar to that disclosed in NZ 231876, but with the addition of a water separator (32). The water separator (32) has a conical body section (36) so as to cause fuel to flow outwardly towards the edge of the separator (32). At the edge of the separator the heavier water drops downwards and collects in a pool (38) in the base of body (24). The fuel (39) is sucked upwardly along a torturous path through magnets (5a), (5b) and (5c) and out via outlet port (1) in the manner described in NZ 231876.
