The program plans and project organization for reliability fleet testing to demonstrate the technical readiness for commercialization of 10-volume-percent alcohol/gasoline blends, including both methanol- and/or ethanol-based alcohols are presented. Program emphasis will be on conventional spark-ignited internal combustion (Otto cycle) engines. The test program will include not only passenger cars but, if economically feasible, also trucks and buses normally fueled by gasoline. A wide spectrum of vehicle types, duty cycles, and especially geographical locations will be included. Some of the expected ancillary outputs from the program include: establishment of a performance and reliability data base for in-service operation under a wide spectrum of conditions; accumulation of fuel supply system experience to guide subsequent design of commercial facilities; definition of requirements and procedures for maintenance support; and development of more precise impact and market assessment data.
