USE OF PURE METHANOL AND METHANOL-MIXTURE AS FUELS FOR THE OTTO-ENGINE

Solid gaseous and liquid fuels are used in practice. Liquid fuels have a number of advantages that are going to be used when it comes to alternatives to today's fuels. Report on alcoholic fuel and utilization as mixture with petrol for otto-engines. Futher features: compression degree, engine performance, full load operation, starting behaviour, vapour pressure, low-temperature behaviour, corrosion problems, dual-fuel operation, alcohol for the diesel engine. Adequate mixing of fuels will lead to better engine performance, reduce energy consumption and exhaust gas components. There is, however, a noticeable smell due to emission of aldehyde.
