Summarized are the status and results of the DOE Project for Reliability Fleet Testing of Alcohol/Gasoline Blends. The period covered, March 1979 through June 1982, includes a little more than 3 years of the planned 4-year project. The project background and approach are reviewed. Two concurrent testing activities are described: (1) a Controlled Fleet Test to evaluate fuel blends and (2) Reliability Fleet Testing of selected blends in an operating fleet environment. Information reported for the Controlled Fleet Test includes testing performed with ethanol/gasoline blends and methanol/gasoline blends, a summary of results for ethanol/gasoline blends, and the current status of methanol/gasoline blends evaluation. Information reported for the Reliability Fleet Testing includes preliminary results of fleet tests completed using gasohol, initiation of fleet test using a formulated ethanol/gasoline blend, and plans for methanol/gasoline blend testing. A summary of remaining activities through project completion is also presented. (ERA citation 08:000697)
