| Abstract |
This report describes the effort to determine what additives may be feasible for use with 100% methanol motor vehicle fuel to increase the safety associated with the use of methanol as a motor vehicle fuel. A survey of the literature was conducted to determine candidate additives that would (1) ensure methanol burns with a visible flame, (2) prevent improper use of the fuel as a degreaser or cleaning agent, (3) give the fuel an unpleasant taste causing expectoration of any methanol accidentally in one's mouth, and (4) act as an emetic. Candidate additives were evaluated as to effectiveness, cost, ease of production, health problems associated with the additive, and estimated effects on vehicle performance. |
