A low viscosity, non-aging hydrocarbon in water emulsion formed from a viscous hydrocarbon comprises from about 70 to 80%/wt. oil, from about 20 to 30%/wt. water, from about 0.1 to 5.0%/wt. of an emulsifying agent, and an average oil droplet size of greater than or equal to 15 microns wherein the em...
