A colloidal magnesium suspension is prepared by grinding 400 mesh pure magnesium (99.8+%) in dry kerosene until it reaches colloidal dimensions (from about 500 to 1 millimicron) and is thereafter added in critical low concentration of 1/10 grams as substantially pure magnesium up to about 6 grams per 10 gallons of diesel fuel whereby improved burning of the diesel fuel is observed as evidenced by improvement in mileage of up to 50% for the same motor settings as compared to the diesel fuel to which the colloidal magnesium has not been added. Optimum amounts of about 1/2 to 4 grams of colloidal magnesium in 10 gallons are preferred in order to minimize air pollution, while giving maximum benefit for fuel economy.
