Nano Labs Corp. reported on Exova's BTU test results of the company's proprietary Nanotech Gasoline (NG). As previously reported on September 24, 2013, the Nanotech Gasoline (NG) combines 60% commercial grade gasoline with 40% ordinary drinking water, plus the company's proprietary nanotechnology.

Exova performed the ASTM D-240, the Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion, using a Parr Calorimeter. The heat of combustion, as determined by this test method, is designated as one of the chemical and physical requirements of both commercial and military turbine fuels and aviation gasolines. Exova reported BTU values of 35,659 kJ/kg for Nano Lab's NG, compared to 'Regular' gasoline at 41,134 kJ/kg.

The main advantages of using emulsified fuels, instead of the pure fuel itself, are environmental and economic. As one of the different solutions to the problem of world pollution, emulsion fuel technology has received close attention because it may provide better combustion and would contribute to a reduction in emissions.
