What is claimed is: 1. A method of improving the operation of a fuel combustion system having a particulate filter, the method comprising the steps of: providing a fuel combustion system comprising a particulate filter, providing a fuel emulsion comprising water and a fuel, the fuel emulsion comprising a manganese-containing compound, wherein the fuel emulsion is free of a platinum group metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium, combusting the fuel emulsion in the fuel combustion system whereby a particulate emission is produced, wherein combustion of the fuel emulsion results in improved operation of the particulate filter when compared with the operation of the particulate filter with combustion of a fuel emulsion without a manganese-containing compound. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the fuel is a diesel fuel, the fuel combustion system is a diesel fuel combustion system, and the particulate filter is a diesel particulate filter. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the fuel emulsion comprises about one to about 40 weight percent water. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the fuel emulsion comprises a fuel in water. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the fuel emulsion comprises a water in a fuel. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal manganese-containing compound is water soluble. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal manganese-containing compound is fuel soluble. 8. The method of claim 2, wherein the diesel fuel is selected from the group consisting of kerosene, biodiesel, biodiesel--derived fuel, and synthetic diesel fuel. 9. The method of claim 2, wherein the diesel fuel contains less than about 500 ppm of sulfur. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal-containing compound is an inorganic manganese-containing compound. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the inorganic manganese compound is selected from the group consisting of fluorides, chlorides, bromides, iodides, oxides, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrides, hydrides, hydroxides carbonates, and mixtures thereof. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal manganese-containing compound is an organometallic compound. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the organometallic compound is a compound comprising stabilizing ligands containing functional groups selected from the group consisting of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, anhydrides, sulfonates, phosphonates, chelates, phenates, crown ethers, carboxylic acids, amides, acetyl acetonates, and mixtures thereof. 14. The method of claim 2, wherein the metal manganese-containing compound comprises about 1 to about 30 mg metal/liter of the diesel fuel. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the organometallic compound comprises methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal manganese-containing compound is a selected from the group consisting of: cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, dimethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, trimethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, tetramethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, ethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, diethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, propylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, isopropylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, tert-butylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, octylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, dodecylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, ethylmethylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, indenyl manganese tricarbonyl, and mixtures of two or more such compounds. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the emulsion further comprises at least one oxygenates selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, t-butanol, mixed C1 to C5 alcohols, methyl tertiary butyl ether, tertiary amyl methyl ether, ethyl tertiary butyl ether, mixed ethers, glymes, and diglymes. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the emulsion further comprises an oxygenate. 19. The method of claim 2, wherein the particulate filter comprises a catalyzed diesel particulate filter. 20. The method of claim 2, wherein the diesel particulate filter comprises a continuously regenerating technology diesel particulate filter. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the emulsion further comprises at least one additive selected from the group consisting of corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, anti-rust agents, detergents and dispersants, fuel lubricity additives, demulsifiers, dyes, inert diluents, cold flow improvers, conductivity agents, metal deactivators, stabilizers, antifoam additives, de-icers, biocides, odorants, drag reducers, combustion improvers, oxygenates, ammonium nitrate, other ammonium salts, azide compounds, nitrate esters, nitramines, and nitro compounds. 22. A method of improving the operation of a combustion system having a particulate filter, the method comprising the steps of: providing a fuel combustion system comprising a particulate filter, providing a fuel emulsion comprising ethanol and a fuel, the fuel emulsion comprising a manganese-containing compound, wherein the fuel emulsion is free of a platinum group metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium, combusting the fuel emulsion in the fuel combustion system whereby a particulate emission is produced, wherein combustion of the fuel emulsion results in improved operation of the combustion system when compared with the operation of the combustion system combusting a fuel emulsion without a manganese-containing compound. 23.
