Abstract
A method for using emergency fuel for internal combustion engines which is stable for storage for a year or more. The fuel is a mixture of two fractions of refined mineral spirits, one fraction being aliphatic hydrocarbons, the other fraction being aromatic hydrocarbons. Varying the relative content of the aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon mineral spirits provides a fuel with the desired octane number. A biocide is added to the mineral spirits.
