OSTI ID:6045418

The principal goal of the Reliability Fleet Testing Project is to demonstrate the technical readiness for commercialization of 10-volume-percent alcohol/gasoline blends, including both methanol- and/or ethanol-based alcohols. Some of the expected ancillary outputs from the project include: a. Establishment of a performance and reliability data base for in-service operation under a wide spectrum of conditions. b. Accumulation of fuel supply system experience to guide subsequent design of commercial facilities. c. Definition of requirements and procedures for maintenance support. d. Development of more precise impact and market assessment data. This first Annual Technical Report covers the period of April 16, 1979 to April 16, 1980. During this period, the project organization was established and test activities were initiated.
