A petrol- or diesel-driven vehicle or a trailer towed by a petrol- or diesel-driven vehicle is used. It is better to use either battery-operated trucks or diesel engine vehicles in an enclosed explosive area. If a petrol engine vehicle is used, it must be parked outside the traverse of an explosive building or at least 5 m away from an untraversed building.

The first methanol bus in the world was placed in revenue service in Auckland, New Zealand in June 1981. It was a Mercedes O 305 city bus using the M 407 hGO methanol engine. This vehicle operated in revenue service for several years with mixed results. Fuel economy on an equivalent energy basis ranged from 6 to 17% mote than diesel fuel economy. Power and torque matched the diesel engine and drivers could not detect a difference. ReHabiUty and durabihty of components was a problem. Additional demonstrations took place in Berlin, Germany and in Pretoria, South Africa, both in 1982. 

Owing to its properties, methanol is not recommended for aircraft or marine fuel uses. Methanol caimot be used in conventional diesel-powered vehicles without modifications to the fuel system and engine. Simple methanol—diesel blends are not possible because of insolubiUty. Heavy-duty diesel engines have been adapted to use neat methanol by many U.S. manufacturers, and several are being used in field demonstrations (82) (see Alcohol fuels). 

Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine. Standard gasoline and diesel-powered internal combustion engine vehicles can be converted to mn on hydrogen. These vehicles have often been found considerably less polluting, safer, and more efficient than their fossil fuel-burning counterparts. 

Control of diesel-powered vehicles is parhally accomplished by fuel modification to obtain reduced sulfur content and cleaner burning and by proper tuning of the engine using restricted fuel settings to prevent overfueling.

The type of power or fuel supply available will influence the decision on prime mover to be used. This is often electric power, but many items of plant such as compressors, generators or works locomotives, will be powered by diesel engines, as will most of the heavy goods vehicles used in and outside the works.
