A system for generating an emulsified fuel, comprising: (a) first reservoir means for containing a quantity of fuel component; (b) second reservoir means for containing a quantity of a non-combustible emulsion component; (c) chamber means defining an output and a mixing chamber having an input for receiving said fuel component and said non-combustible emulsion component and outputing both of said components at its output; (d) first means for providing said non-combustible component to said chamber means; (e) second means for providing said fuel component to said chamber means; (f) emulsifier means for receiving at its input both of said components from the output of said chamber means, and providing an emulsion at its output; (g) third means for providing both of said components from the output of said chamber means to the emulsifier means; (h) fourth means for providing at least a portion of the output of said emulsifier means to a device which consumes the emulsion of said fuel component an said non-combustible component; (i) recirculation means for receiving that portion of said emulsion not provided to said device and returning it to said chamber means, allowing said portion not provided to said device to be returned to the emulsifier means; (j) measurement means for measuring the ratio of the amount of said fuel component to the amount of said non-combustible component in said recirculation means; and (k) control means responsive to said measurement means to vary the flow of said components to control said ratio.
