;

An M and W alcohol Conversion kit was installed on an AC 7040 turbocharged diesel tractor. The unit was dynamometer tested with 100 proof and 185 proof ethanol. This system injects alcohol into the intake air stream and permits reduction of diesel fuel-consumption by 10-15 percent. Turbocharger blade wear, as well as other problems with the system, are presented. 8 refs.
