TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF METHANOL AS AN AUTOMOTIVE FUEL

The results of basic test series conducted on a single- cylinder engine are used to establish the reasons that advocate the introduction of methanol or methanol-gasoline blends as alternative fuel for motor vehicle operation: lower exhaust emission concentrations, improved energy utilization, higher engine output, and improved knock- resistance. /GMRL/
