In the past few years many have looked for alternative fuels to help to solve the problem of rising levels of pollution and fuel crisis. The objective of present work is to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of petrol engine fuelled with methanol blend. Methanol can be blended with petrol in any percentage (0-20%). The various performance characteristics we have studied are brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and the emission characteristics of unburnt hydrocarbon emissions (HC), carbon monoxide emission (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) at different engine conditions. The result obtained from experimenting methanol blended petrol are compared with characteristics which are shown when pure fuel is used.
