This patent describes a system for delivering a coal-water slurry fuel into an internal combustion engine. It comprises: means for delivering the fuel into the engine at predetermined time intervals during the engine's operating cycle; a coal-water slurry source operatively connected t the fuel delivery means; and means for adding replenishment water, operatively connected to the fuel delivery means and a source of replenishment water, to residual fuel in the system between operating cycles, the replenishment water comprising about 70% water and about 30% water soluble lubricant, such that the replenishment water dilutes the residual fuel, purges dried coal particle and reduces clogging.
