The manual is on the handling and use of methanol fuel in transit operations. It was prepared in support of the UMTA Methanol Bus Program. The manual is designed for use by transit personnel involved in the operation, servicing, and maintenance of methanol-fueled buses. The purpose of the manual is to answer questions about methanol, describe some of the methanol properties, and explain the important safety factors related to transit use. A companion audio-visual slide-tape program was developed that reviews and reinforces the material in the manual. The manual contents are directed toward M-100 or neat methanol because it is the methanol fuel composition that has gained greatest acceptance as fuel for heavy-duty engines. The material in the manual is basic, charted-out clearly and easily understood. The manual is important to agencies using or preparing to use methanol fuel in transit.
