In modern, high-swirl combustion chambers, the very suggestion that an inline magnet could affect the combustion process is completely asinine.

Hmmm... ok..?
I'm heading out of my depth here, so perhaps you can help me critique this paper:

Some quotes:
"...Magnetic fuel treatment works on the principle of magnetic field interaction with hydrocarbon molecules of fuel and oxygen molecules. Liquid fuel is a mixture of organic chemical compounds consisted predominantly of carbon and hydrogen atoms - hydrocarbons.
Due to various physical attraction forces, they form densely packed structures called pseudo compounds which can further organize into clusters or associations [8]. These structures are relatively stable and during air/fuel mixing process, oxygen atoms cannot penetrate into their interior. The access of appropriate quantities of oxygen to the interior of these molecular groups (associations) is thus hindered. This result in the incomplete combustion of fuel in the interior of such associations and causes the formation of carbon particles and carbon monoxide as well as increased quantities of hydrocarbons emitted into the environment [9]. It is now well accepted that a hydrocarbon fuel can be polarized by exposure to external force such as magnetism. The effect of such magnetism is the production of a moment created by
the movement of the outer electrons of a hydrocarbon chain moving the electrons into states of higher principal quantum number. This state effectively breaks down the fixed valance electrons that partake in the bonding process of the fuel compounds. These states create the condition for freer association of fuel particulars. In so doing, the hydrocarbon fuel becomes directionalized or aligned which does not necessarily create new hydrocarbon chains but more explainable aligns the conduced magnetic moment into a dipole relationship within itself.
This magnetic alignment then permits rapid bonding with the respective oxidizing media. The result of which is, of course, more complete and rapid burning of the hydrocarbon fuel [10, 11].
Hydrocarbon molecules treated with a high magnetic field tend to de-cluster forming smaller associates with higher specific surface for the reaction with oxygen leading to improved combustion.
In accordance with van der waals discovery of a weak clustering force, there is a strong binding of hydrocarbons with oxygen in such magnetized fuel, which ensures optimal burning of the mixture in the engine chamber..."
"...fuel have been taken and exposed to a magnetic field with different intensities (2000, 4000.6000, 9000) Gauss
without retention time within the system of magnetization..."
"...Because the molecular attraction energy of non polar hydrocarbon is determined by group vibrational frequency, so a conclusion can be easily reached that the higher the frequency the lower the absolute value of molecular attraction energy, or, the lower the group attraction energy. Thus, it can be deduced that the
molecular attraction force among hydrocarbons decreases after they are magnetized. This is why the property indices of hydrocarbons, such as
viscosity and surface tension which are influenced by the molecular attraction force,
decline after the hydrocarbons flow through magnetic field..."
"...This means that the transition probability of electrons in the - bond conjugated system among different energy levels has become higher. Since
the transition of the bond electrons from the ground level to the excited level is the main process of molecule radicalization. This may enhance the splitting of the C=C bonds in the aromatic rings in the course of combustion under intense actions of light and heat, and therefore the oxidation of the aromatic rings can be accelerated and easily completed thoroughly.."
