This project advanced NIATTs goal of using aqueous ethanol in vehicle transportation. This report describes initial chassis dynamometer testing of transit van converted to aqueous ethanol. A six-mode test was designed to simulate a variety of typical driving conditions using a steady state chassis dynamometer. Previously the transit van was testing using gasoline fuel and spark plugs. The van has been converted to catalytic igniters or use with a 90/10 mix of ethanol/water (Aquanol). Performance, fuel consumption, efficiency, and emissions were all gathered under these six modes and compared to the previous gasoline data.
