Abstract
A liquid composition suitable as a high performance fuel and having improved rheological and stability properties comprising a liquid hydrocarbon having carbon particles dispersed therein of at least two disparate particle sizes, one of said carbon particles having an average particle diameter of from about 300 to about 350 mu and the other particle having an average particle diameter of about 60 to about 80 mu.
