Classification: 44/301

Emulsion fuel (e.g., water-gasoline emulsions, etc.):

(under subclass 300) Compositions which are emulsions.

(1) Note. To be placed in this subclass, the liquid fuel composition must be described as an "emulsion" or "microemulsion" in either the claims or the specification.
