[Gasification] using coal gas in i.c. engine

[Lloyd Helferty]

... Gasoline is "an unstable mixture" too ~ just light a match anywhere 
near it and you will soon find out. ;-)
  But in this case [where we wish to use it for energy production], 
"unstable" is a /good/ thing.

P.S. I assume that your last question about using "coal gas in an 
internal combustion engine" was rhetorical...
