An aqueous fuel having at least two phases for an internal combustion engine with 20-80 vol% water, carbonaceous fuel, 2 to less than 20 vol % alcohol, about 0,3 to 1 vol % of a nonionic emulsifier, and which may contain up to about 0,1 vol % of a fuel lubricity enhancer, and up to about 0,03 vol. % 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.
