A study was undertaken to evaluate the cold starting performance of six methanol-based fuels in vehicles with spark ignition engines. The fuels were evaluated in three methanol-fuelled vehicles (two 1983 Ford Escorts and one 1981 VW Golf). Gasoline- and diesel-fuelled vehicles were also evaluated for comparison with the methanol-fuelled vehicles. Starts down to -28 Cel were obtained on the methanol-fuelled vehicles; however, the cranking times were unacceptably long. Starts at -32 Cel and -28 Cel were obtained on the gasoline- and diesel-fuelled vehicles respectively.
