A REVIEW OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF METHANOL/GASOLINE BLENDS WITH MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL SYSTEMS

This literature review of the compatibility effects of methanol/gasoline blends on vehicle systems has been undertaken as part of a larger effort by EPA to evaluate the request for a waiver of the Section 211(f) fuel additive regulations submitted by Anafuel Unlimited on February 20, 1981. This waiver has been requested by Anafuel for Petrocoal, an oxygenated, unleaded gasoline blend containing up to 12% methanol, up to 6% C-4 alcohols (not identified) and up to 0.033 g/gal but not less than 0.023 g/gal of a proprietary compound claimed by Anafuel to be a corrosion inhibitor.
