THE INFLUENCE OF METHANOL BLENDED WITH NORMAL PETROL ON VEHICLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE

In this study, the material compatibility and acceptable driveability for a 5% methanol blend with petrol was investigated, and an attempt was made to demonstrate that, in the climatic conditions of Israel, good performance and low-pollutant emissions can be obtained. The details are summarized, and the results are given of the following tests: dynamometer engine test; test of vehicle fuel consumption on a controlled track; and vehicle fleet test.
