Motor fuels methanol-gasoline blends

Isopropanol is a colorless liquid having a pleasant odor it is soluble in water. It is more soluble in hydrocarbon liquids than methanol or ethanol. For this reason, small amounts of isopropanol may be mixed with methanol-gasoline blends used as motor fuels to reduce phase-separation problems. ... [Pg.228]

Mobil Oil Corporation has developed a process on a pilot scale that can successfully convert methanol into 96 octane gasoline. Although methanol can be used directiy as a transportation fuel, conversion to gasoline would eliminate the need to modify engines and would also eliminate some of the problems encountered using gasoline—methanol blends (see Alcohol fuels Gasoline and other motor fuels). [Pg.277]

Methanol is being considered as a replacement for gasoline, especially in urban areas that have extremely high levels of air pollution caused by motor vehicles. For example. Southern California has been testing methanol-powered cars since 1981. About half of these cars use 100% methanol (MlOO). The other half are flexible-fueled vehicles (FFVs) that use either M85, a blend of... [Pg.264]
