Abstract: The invention provides an internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine, set to run on an emulsion of fuel and water, supplied to an emulsifier through separate fuel and water lines. The water feed preferably is under gravity, and the water line has a metering orifice to control the flow of water. If the engine is provided with emulsion overspill, this is returned through a return line for the overspilled emulsion, and said return line has a surge tank with a vent enabling the venting of air and/or the breaking of vacuum in the return line.

Abstract: A mechanized emulsifier is disclosed for mixing water and hydrocarbon fuels for boilers and internal combustion engines. A rotor is driven in an annular chamber and liquids drawn in at the axis of the rotor are thrown out through narrow radial passages therein to impinge on the outer wall of the annular chamber. This wall is circular for most of its circumference but broadens out into a spiral shaped outlet chamber. A fluid logic circuit for automatic control of the emulsifier is also set forth.
