| Description/Abstract | A laboratory investigation into the relative performance of a Ford Falcon 4.1 L 6 cylinder in line engine when operated on both super grade gasoline and blends of non-leaded gasoline, methanol and iso-butanol showed that the engine operated satisfactorily on fuel blends containing up to 30% total alcohol. For the blends thermal efficiency of the engine for most conditions was improved but some torque loss was experienced under full throttle conditions especially at lower engine speeds. This loss increased with increasing proportion of alcohols in the fuel. |
