We introduce a two-type internal DLA model which is an example of a non-unary abelian network. Starting withn \oil" andn \water" particles at the origin, the particles diuse in Z according to the following rule: whenever some site x2 Z has at least 1 oil and at least 1 water particle present, it res by sending 1 oil particle and 1 water particle each to an independent random neighbor x 1. Firing continues until every site has at most one type of particles. We establish the correct order for several statistics of this model and identify the scaling limit under assumption of existence.
