Dieselnet Directory
Diesel/water emulsions combine about 80 percent diesel, 20 percent water and about 1 percent surfactants and additives. The additives are included to maintain the emulsion, enhance the lubricity, inhibit corrosion and protect against freezing. The presence of water in the emulsion reduces both particulate matter (PM) and nitrous oxide (NOx), by lowering the combustion temperature and altering the combustion pattern to more completely burn the carbon in the fuel.
