ABSTRACT:
Novel engine fuels for igniting internal combustion engines (2-cycle, 4-cycle, and diesel engines) and jet propulsion engines are disclosed. The fuels, which comprise terpenes, preferably limonene, are more efficient, and in most embodiments, environmentally safer than conventional petroleum based fuels (e.g. gasoline) and nitromethane-based fuels presently on the market.
