Practicality question: In reading about new fuel ideas including coal/water fuel and coal/oil blended fuel, the main problem is having to agitate the mixes to keep the coal fines from settling to the bottom of the tank. After reading through this thread, I see that there are also things that need to be done to make sure the bunker oil is of the right consistency for firing. <br /> <br />Is it really that much different in terms of added work to agitate coal/water and coal/oil mixtures as opposed to having to pre-heat bunker oil and steam-assist the spray?
