The Experimental Study About the Influence of Methanol/Diesel Fuel Mixture on Diesel Engine Performance

The influence of M0, M5, M15 methanol/diesel fuel mixture on diesel engine performance has been studied in a single-engine ZS195. Test results show that with the adding of methanol, the driving force of the engine is weaker; fuel economy has been improved; diesel smoke and CO emissions are significantly reduced; NOx emissions are more at M5, but are reduced about 8% at M15; HC emissions are increased when the diesel engine parameters remain unchanged.
