... 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...

Tar, a problem when using wood gas in an internal combustion
engine, is automatically eliminated in the process of making
charcoal.Charring does not require any input of external energy.
Making coal gas from charcoal is also relatively simple. I was
told that CO + H2 was an unstable mixture, but can one use freshly
made coal gas in an internal combustion engine?
