Abstract
A secondary fluid is provided for use in an internal combustion engine that burns a primary fuel. The secondary fluid comprises about 15 vol % to about 30 vol % of alcohol; and about 0.0025 vol % to about 0.5 vol % of a lubricity enhancer which optionally is a castor oil. The secondary fluid is a thermodynamically stable microemulsion with water being the continuous phase.

A secondary fluid for use in an internal combustion engine that burns a primary fuel, the secondary fluid comprising:
- about 15 vol % to about 30 vol % of alcohol;
- and
- about 0.0025 vol % to about 0.5 vol % of a lubricity enhancer optionally comprising castor oil;
- with the remainder consisting essentially of water;
- wherein secondary fluid comprises a thermodynamically stable microemulsion with the water being a continuous phase.
A storable secondary fluid combustible in an internal combustion engine but substantially non-flammable outside the engine, said secondary fluid consisting essentially of a two-phased fluid of:
- about 65 vol % to about 84.9975 vol % of water;
- about 15 vol % to about 30 vol % of alcohol;
- and
- about 0.0025 vol % to about 0.5 vol % of castor oil;
- which is a thermodynamically stable microemulsion with water being the continuous phase.
