Ignition-improved methanol is suitable as an alternative fuel for heavy-duty engines. Its use in diesel engines reveals some attractive properties, e.g. low black smoke and NOx emission. Due to the lower heat value of methanol the injection equipment must be able to deliver a larger fuel quantity as a necessary precondition for the conversion from diesel fuel to methanol operation. Methanol may induce some fuel specific wear problems. Therefore, it will not always be possible to convert an engine with 'off-the-shelf' components. Further development work will have to be done to modify engine parts and materials and adjust lubricating oil properties.
