Abstract
Methanol as a fuel resource, with its unique properties of high octane, high detergency and low emission, which is an excellent alternative fuel for internal combustion engine. More attentions have been paid to the mixed methanol-gasoline blend fuels. This paper presents the emissions and economy of the M15 methanol gasoline in a spark-ignition engine. The properties of the blend fuels were evaluated. The results show that the M15 methanol gasoline possesses the same properties and economy as the conventional automotive gasoline, and the blend fuels have the advantage of low THC and CO emissions over the conventional gasolin.
