<p>An aqueous fuel having at least two phases for an internal combustion engine with 20-80 vol. percent water, carbonaceous fuel, 2 to less than 20 vol. percent alcohol, about 0.3 to 1 vol. percent of a nonionic emulsifier, and which may contain up to about 0.1 vol. percent of a fuel lubricity enhancer, and up to about 0.03 vol. percent of an additive to resist phase separation at elevated temperatures. The fuel has an external water phase and is substantially nonflammable outside the engine. Also disclosed is a method of producing the fuel which includes mixing the carbonaceous fuel and emulsifier together prior to mixing with water and the other components.</p> |
