Joyce, T J

This book discusses current techniques for producing and using alcohol fuels, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as well as recent advances in fuel preparation, storage and transportation. Current and proposed RandD projects, the results of field investigations, and newly developed equipment are reviewed. Topics considered include marketing initiatives for CNG, gaseous-alternative fuels field trials in the Canadian environment, alternative vehicle fuel potential in the US, marketing propane carburetion, a new fuel system for LPG engines, natural gas as a locomotive fuel, LNG liquefiers and dual fuel diesel conversion, toward the commercialization of natural gas vehicles, high speed collision and severe abuse testing of composite reinforced aluminium CNG vehicle fuel cylinders, the City of Baltimore's methanol fuel program, ethanol production from food processing wastes, low pressure storage systems for natural gas fueled vehicles, and the status of US RandD in the use of alternative transportation fuels.
