Abstract

A thermally and temporally-stable water-in-fuel emulsion having micelle size less than 100 nm, and including water in an amount of at least 8 wt.% is provided. The emulsion, when burned as a fuel in an internal combustion engine, exhibits efficient combustion with significantly reduced soot output.
