Abstract

Experimental test relating to the use of conventional improved Methanol-Gasoline fuel mixture preparation system on spark ignition engine is described in this paper. Experimental test is carried on Honda GK - 200, 4-storke, single cylinder petrol engine with 2.28KVV.The engine is run with a gasoline as fuel first, and then the engine is run with gasohol as fuel. Blending is done in the ratio of MS, MIO, MI5 and M20. Engine performance improved and reduction in exhaust emission could experimentally results. Performance tests conducted with this system and showed considerable performance improvement in power output and in thermal efficiency, as well as substantial reduction in CO and HC emissions.The unregulated Aldehyde emission was also studied.
