Claims9
A stable combustion fuel emulsion consisting essentially of a petroleum fuel as the continuous phase and water droplets dispersed therein, wherein said water is present in an amount less than about 20% by weight, and wherein said water droplets are substantially all of a size less than about 0.5 micron, said emulsion being free of surfactants.
A method of forming a stable combustion fuel emulsion free of surfactants, comprising dispersing a small percentage of water in a petroleum fuel by high energy rotary impact milling said petroleum fuel and water together until substantially all of the droplets of water dispersed in said petroleum fuel have a size of less than about 0.5 micron, and wherein the percentage of water in the emulsion is less than about 20% by weight.
