Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of problems that might occur if ethanol were used as a blending stock or replacement for gasoline in present cars are identified and characterized as to the probability of occurrence. The severity of their consequences is contrasted to those found with methanol in a previous contract study. Possibilities for correcting several problems are reported. Some problems are responsive to fuel modifications but others require or are better dealt with by modification of vehicles and the bulk fuel distribution system. In general, problems with ethanol in blends with gasoline were found to be less severe than those with methanol. Phase separation on exposure to water appears to be the major problem with ethanol/gasoline blends. Another potentially serious problem with blends is the illict recovery of ethanol for beverage usage, or bootlegging, which might be discouraged by the use of select denaturants. Ethanol blends have somewhat greater tendency to vapor lock than base gasoline but less than methanol blends. Gasoline engines would require modification to operate on fuels consisting mostly of ethanol. If such modifications were made, cold starting would still be a major problem, more difficult with ethanol than methanol. Startability can be provided by adding gasoline or light hydrocarbons. Addition of gasoline also reduces the explosibility of ethanol vapor and furthermore acts as denaturant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methyl alcohol (methanol) can be made from coal and waste products with reasonable thermal efficiency. Strong interest in blending this liquid fuel with gasoline for automotive use has developed. A research program is described which characterized the behavior of methanol-gasoline blends in spark ignition engines, particularly those used in automobiles. The program included: characterizing octane ratings of methanol-gasoline blends, a single cylinder engine study of the effects of engine parameter variations on emissions and fuel economy of methanol-gasoline blends, and a simulated vehicle program to determine the behavior of the blends for the federal emissions test procedure. Results indicated that no substantial changes in emissions or fuel economy should be expected from operating blends of 10 percent or less in existing vehicles. Performance, vapor lock, phase separation, and corrosion problems are pointed out.

Book excerpt: An experimental study of gasoline and 10% ethanol/90% gasoline blends was made using five late-model vehicles operated on a climate-controlled chasis dynamometer. Data were obtained to permit comparisons of fuel economy, emissions, and other significant operational characteristics observed in tests with the two fuels. Volumetric fuel economy was shown to be slightly decreased while energy economy was slightly increased using the ethanol/gasoline blend. Compared with the results using base gasoline, the use of the ethanol/gasoline blend had no adverse effect upon regulated emissions at test temperatures within the range 20° to 75° F; at 100° F there were mirror increases in emissions using the ethanol/gasoline blends. Addition of ethanol at 10% concentration generally either had no effect or only slight effect on unburned hydrocarbon; an exception was noted for 100° F at which temperaure unburned hydrocarbon from the blend was increased significantly over that found with the base fuel. Road octane quality of the ethanol/gasoline blend was increased by about 3.5 numbers over the base fuel.
