RE: On Toluene & Water mixed as fuel

Hey Jer, et all.. question.
30% fuel, 70% water.. in the GEET processor or other type of
processors. I noticed that this fuel is in a plastic container
and usually two pipes in it. One to bubble air into the base
and one to suck off fumes. NOW, it seems to me that the fumes
from this plastic container will be the 30% gas and hardly any
water vapor. Especially since the gas has a lower vapor pressure
less than water. Am I missing something here? What is left
in this container when running for say 3-4 hours? Junk? Soap
scum? water?

PS... same with the GEET demo with pickle juice, soda pop, fuel,
water, coffee... Same setup. Bubble air through it.. and only
the lowest vapor pressure will come off first; fuel?

Subject: On Toluene & Water mixed as fuel

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;
