Abstract
A method of transporting by conveyance through pipelines and storing a fluid mixed fuel consisting of pulverized coal and a liquid fuel is characterized in that, during transportation, the mixed fuel is conveyed as a fluid of low viscosity with an increased liquid fuel proportion and, while in storage, the liquid fuel proportion is kept small by extraction of the liquid fuel alone from the mixed fuel in the storage tank. Arrangements for practicing the method are also provided.
