An extensive research is being conducted today on serving methanol (MeOH) as a blending component of hydrocarbon fuels for engines. The interest in this attemption is based on the economic, readily available, highly knock-resistant features of MeOH, and the possibility of extending the resources of commercial fuels. The purpose of this paper tries to investigate the effects of MeOH-gasoline blends on the performance, emissions, and wear in local spark-ignition (SI) engines in the coexistence of methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE). The effect of MeOH on the research octance number (RON) and reid vapor pressure (RVP) of Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC) clear poll gasoline was studied, and operating characteristics of single-cylinder and multi-cylinder SI engines fueled with MeOH blends and MeOH-free blends were determined respectively. Engine output and wear, combustion characteristics, indicated specific fuel consumption, and specific emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and total aldehydes were also measured for both kinds of fuels.
