Hi Folks!

Received a request for an update on the paper about toluene
and water being mixed as a fuel, here is the response if you
are interested in mixing water with other combustible fuels
to be burned in an internal combustion engine.

Turns out it was Gunnerman and it wasn't toluene, it was a
surfactant (detergent) that reduces the surface tension of
water to allow it to be mixed with as much as 70% water to
30% combustible fuel to burn in an engine....check out;
