INTRODUCTION
Methanol is a clean and economic alternative fuel that can be prepared from various sources like coal
natural gas ,biomass and captured CO2 [1,2].For both energy sustainability and greenhouse –gas reduction
purposes, methanol serves as a partial or neat alternative of gasoline in some countries like China and Iceland
[3].Compared to gasoline, methanol’s lower flammability limit and auto –ignition temperature are higher,while
the vapour pressure of methanol is comparatively lower [4]. Such properties increase the instability of methanol
–fueled engine operations under low temperature conditions and may intensify the occurrence of misfire [1]. A
study conducted by some investigators, indicated that the occurrence of engine misfire inducted sharp increases
in both CO and HC emissions of an alcohol –fueled engine .As an oxygenate, methanol is consider a good
blending component due to its high octane ( RON = 112). Methanol is highly polar and hydrogen bonding is
evidenced by its relatively high boiling temperature ( 65OC ),its high heat of vaporization and its low volatility.
Due to the high oxygen content of methanol (50 wt%) ,gasoline– methanol blend can reach complete
combustion with reduced amount of carbon monoxide in automotive exhaust gases. [5-7].During the late
Seventies and early Eighties, many experiments tested the possible use of neat methanol as an alternative fuel
for gasoline cars. However, several problems were noticed in its use as fuel. Cold engine startability and lower
heating value,are among of these problems.[8].Neat methanol is potential fuel for gas turbines, but cannot be
used in today's internal combustion engines without minor modifications [8,9] Following the crude oil price

shocks of the 1970'S methanol blending in gasoline was first introduced commercially in 1980. Because
carbureted fuel systems were most prevalent in the vehicles fleets on the road at that time ,and because those
vehicles had limited ability to handle high oxygen levels in the fuel, methanol blends were generally limited to 3
to 5 volume percent of the gasoline blend. However, with today's modern pressurized fuel injector systems with
computerized feedback control loops, current experience shows that methanol blends as high as 15 volume
percent( M15) of gasoline can now be successfully used in more modern vehicles that are on the road today [9].
For economic considerations. Methanol blends is one of lowest cost means of expand gasoline supplies to meet
the growing gasoline demand .China is currently the largest user of methanol for Transportation vehicles in the
world. Presently,M5,M10,M15,M85, M100 Methanol – gasoline blends are sold on china markets, mainly by
private fuel stations.M15 is the most commonly used grade .There is a significant incentive for private retailers
to identify lower costs wholesale fuel additives [10].In Europe, methanol fuels were first introduced in the
Federal Republic of Germany in the late 60's with composition slightly lower than those allowed in the US by
the EPA ( 4 % methanol and+ cosolvent vs 5.5% in the US),but reaching general use by the lake 70's.The use of
light methanol blends spread through Europe during the 1980s and 1990s. An agreement was reached to set
minimum allowable methanol concentration in gasoline in 1988 through member countries of the European
Economic Community. In 2004, a European standard increases the amount of methanol gasoline3.0% to be
mixed with a cosolvent and reached that of US EPA [10]. Methanol commercial production in Egypt started
early 2011 from Natural Gas through Methanex .Egypt Methanol Company S.A.E. [11]. In Egyptian Petroleum
Research Institute (EPRI), a successful attempt was carried out for upgrading low octane gasoline –80 to
gasoline 97.4 octane by blending15 volume percent methanol. EPRI – research team guided a successful pilot
test for the Performance Evaluation of Gasoline –Methanol Blends .A fleet of six different vehicles were fueled
with M10. and M15 blends to examine the Performance consumption ( The 18 th International Conference on
Petroleum ,Mineral Resources and Development 22-24 February 2015, EPRI, Egypt ) [12]. In the present study ;
the consumption and emission of five methanol blended gasolines ( M5,M10, M15,M17.5,and M20 ) along with
methanol–free gasolines ( M0 ),were investigated using a test – car and portable gas analyzer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
2-1-Refinery Streams:
reformate and light naphtha, were kindly supplied from Cairo Petroleum Refining Co., Mostorod Refinery
along with G C analysis of these distillates.. Hydrocarbon – base gasoline (HBG) was formulated volumetrically

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3-1-Consumption of Methanol – Gasoline Blends:
Prior to commencing each experiments ,the test vehicle was prepared in strict accordance with the
following requirements [14-16,24].Anew air filter was installed and the recommended engine oil was used. and
the external fuel tank was fitted with a simple drain device to allow the tank to be completely emptied between a
test fuel and another. The external fuel- tank for each test fuel (methanol – free or methanol – blended gasoline),
was fitted to the engine's carburetor and fuel consumption was measured in kg∕hr using a weighing device and a
stop watch[23 -25].The formulated hydrocarbon – base gasoline ( HBG), was blended with 0, 5,10,15, 17.5,and
20 % by volume anhydrous methanol. The prepared fuel and fuel blends( designatedM0,M5, M15,M17.5,and
M20 ),were experimentally investigated Data listed [13] show the effect of methanol addition on the distillation
characteristics, "T "and " E " values ,and driveability index ( DI ).The effect of methanol addition on volatlility
criteria which include vapour pressure vapour-lock index ( VLI ),and the temperature of vapour – liquid ratio
of20. (Tv ∕ L=20).These properties are most effective when fuel consumption was considered .The vapour
pressure rises with the addition of methanol concentrations from 5 to 10vol.%.At higher methanol concentration
,the vapour pressure of the blend fuels decrease .This behavior is consistent with what has been reported in
literature [26] and has been attributed to non-ideal mixture behavior of gasoline blended with highly polar
methanol. The test engine was started and allowed to warm up for a period of 20-25 minutes. Before running the
engine a new fuel blend ,it was allowed to run for sufficient time to consume the remaining fuel from the
previous experiment. In each run ,the average Value of three measurements of the time ( t) required for the
consumption of 100 ml of fuel ,was determined all consumption measurements were performed at engine
rotational speeds 1000,1500,and 2000 rpm. Fuel consumption mƒ was estimated using simple formula [24].The
experimentally determined volume flow ( ml ̸hr) of the investigated methanol – free and methanol – blended
gasoline containing from 5 to 20 vol.% of methanol are listed [12].The calculated fuel consumption values of (
Kg ̸h ) of the investigated fuel at different rotational speeds are listed in Table (1,2) It can be seen from data in
these tables that, the fuel consumption increases as the methanol addition increases in all rotational speeds This
behavior is attributed to the lower heating value (LHV) methanol fuel ( 20.0 MJ ̸kg ) which is lower than that of
methanol – free gasoline fuel ( 43.47 MJ ̸kg ).Therefore ,the amount of fuel introduced into the engine cylinder
for a given desired fuel energy input has to to be greater with methanol – blended fuels[9,24,27].When the
results of fuel consumption are plotted against concentration of blended methanol, three linear relations are
obtained and three equations are developed at the studied engine rotational speeds (Figure 1). The increases in
fuel consumption could be explained by the fact that as the engine rotational speeds increases and the pressure
drop between the pressure at the carburetor venture and the atmospheric pressure inside the float chamber
increases, which causes more fuel consumption [24]as shown in Tables(1-4).
3-2- Tailpipe Exhaust Emission.:
3-2-1-Oxygenates and Emissions:
Fuel oxygenates are very important, because can added to fuel in order to improved its efficiency and
performance. Once of the most important oxygenates to improve fuel performance is alcohols Several alcohols
have been used as fuel oxygenates ,such as methanol ,ethanol ,tertiary butyl alcohol and methyl tertiary butyl
ether .The main reason for adding ethanol is that it can be manufactured from natural product or waste materials,
compared with gasoline, which is produced from non-renewable resources .It has been reported that all
oxygenated gave better anti- knock performance than hydrocarbon fuels of the same octane range [28-30].Other
investigators, studied the effect of oxygenate in gasoline on exhaust emission and performance at the
stoichiometric air- fuel ratio [31]. Results of some investigators indicated that oxygenats can improve air quality
.The effects of excess oxygen on emissions was studied [32].The effect of oxygenates on exhaust emission of
blends and hydrocarbon –base using SI engine and two-stroke motorcycles [33-35].The objective of the present
25-18, Pages: 7201 June) 6(13. esearchRciences Spplied Aournal of J/7201 .,Ezis. N. Awad and Youssef. Barakat 21
study is to investigate the effect of methanol – gasoline blends on fuel consumption and CO,CO2and HC
emissions at variable engine speed operating conditions[36-38].
3-2-2- Engine, Fuels and Emissions:
The experiments were conducted on a four cylinder ,spark ignition engine – Sahin Car Type 1.4 S .The
engine has a swept volume off 1400 cm3, a compression ratio of 8.3 : 1 and a maximum of 78 HP at 5500 rpm.
the concentration of exhaust emissions (CO,CO2and HC) were measured using a " Sun Gas Analyzer
",MGA1200,in Tabbin Institute for Metallurgical Studies (TIMS), Tabbin , Helwan ,Cairo, Egypt .The analyzer
has a non-dispersive infrared module for CO,CO2and HC..
Tailpipe exhaust emissions for the investigated gasoline –methanol blends, M5,M10,M15,M17.5 and
M20,were tested and compared with methanol – free hydrocarbon – base gasoline ( M0 ). The emitted
gasses,CO,CO2 and the un-combusted HC are listed in Table 5 along with fuel consumption at 2000 engine
rotational speed. [39].
3-2-3- Carbon Dioxide Emissions (CO2 ):
By increasing methanol content in the blend,CO2 increase compared with MO( figure 2) Several
investigators [24] reported similar resulted .This because methanol – blended fuels contain oxygen which
enhance combustion process effectively increased CO2emissions.
The CO2exhaust emissions have an opposite behavior when compared to the CO exhaust emissions, and
this due to improving the combustion process as a result of the oxygen content in the blended methanol. This is
the behavior reported by almost all investigators on various types of engine and rotational speeds [32,40].
However ,other explanation was given by other investigators who concluded that in some cases,CO2 emission
increased with the increase of methanol content in the fuel blends because methanol have lower heating value
than that of gasoline, therefore more oxygenated fuel is required to obtain the same brack power from the engine
.Injecting more fuel may cause increasing ofCO2 emission.
3-2-4- Carbon Monoxide Emissions (CO):
CO emissions decreased by increasing methanol content in the fuel blends compared to the base gasoline as
shown in Figure 3.A decrease of 63% to 84% in the concentration of CO emissions ,was achieved by [41] from
three motor cycles fueled with M15 blend. Other investigators reported that the alcohol blends decrease CO
emissions effectively [42],They explain this decrease in CO emissions that this possibly due to the more
complete combustion of methanol – air mixture CO emissions decrease by increasing blended methanol up to
20% by volume in hydrocarbon – base gasoline [43].
3-2-5- Hydrocarbon Emissions (HC):
Figure 4 illustrates the decrease in HC emission by increasing the concentration of blended methanol. in M5
to M20. A vehicle fueled with hydrocarbon – base gasoline (M0),the exhaust consists mainly of combustion
products plus unburned hydrocarbon, HC [27]. Figure 4 shows the total HC exhaust emission for various
percentages of blended methanol ,the HC emitted by fuel blends is lower than the neat gasoline fuel. For
instance, at 2000 rpm engine speed, HC emission was 470 ppm for M0 fuel while HC emission reached 255for
M20, this means, that the HC emission was reduced by nearly 46%.Table5lists the emitted gases and fuel
consumption at 2000 rpm rotational speeds.
As a result of our study we can say that this work will help in reducing gasoline price due to the decrease of
consumption per liter. On other hand our friendly environmently gasoline blend has a great approach with clean
environment due to decrease in exhausted emissions of engines.
Conclousions :
Methanol exhibits better capability of lowering engine emissions and fuel cost ,emission has increased
health –related risks and stalled its application. Linear increase of consumption with the increase of blended
methanol concentration at the examined engine speed. Emitted concentration of CO and HC decreased, while
that of CO2 increased .Burning gasoline –methanol blends (M15,M25 and M40) produced about 0.8-4.1% less
pipe –out CO2emissions than hydrocarbon-base gasoline, while saving fuel cost by 5.7-15%.
