Questioning H2Diesel's Market Prospects

Michael,
This company is about burning vegetable oil in diesel engines, so you don't a chemical reaction.

What bothers me about them is that they create an emulsion: a mixture of 2/3 vegetable oil and 1/3 water with some other 'secret' ingredients. Water, of course, doesn't burn, so their fuel has 1/3 lower energy content per gallon than biodiesel, a significant disadvantage if you need to distribute this stuff or carry it in the fuel tank of a truck or ship.
Also, does this emulsion separate after storage, requiring careful mixing/stirring to use?
Finally, what are the economics of this product? For one, you rely on vegetable oil being cheaper than (low grade) diesel fuel.
However, air pollution credits and subsidies may help with the economics.
So, lots of questions and not much information from this company, and therefore not worthy of investment right now.
