DOE's federal methanol fleet demonstration project is introducing methanol-fueled vehicles into government fleet operations with considerable success. The viability of methanol vehicles is being demonstrated, and vehicle technology is almost mature enough for production vehicles. Drivers seem to accept methanol vehicles as perfectly adequate compared to gasoline vehicles. Where the project goes from here with methanol vehicles is a function of need, economics and/or government initiative. These viewgraphs summarize the project results.

The Federal Methanol Fleet, initiated in 1985 with an appropriation from the US Congress, is now in its final stages of operation. A great deal has been learned while vehicles have accumulated approximately 1.4 million miles (2.2 million kilometers) in routine government fleet service. This paper summarizes those results that are technical in nature and that reveal the status of methanol engine technology. Specifically, results from emissions test, special lubricant tests, and cold-starting experiments are reported herein. Emissions control systems in methanol vehicles were found generally to decline somewhat in performance over time as compared to their gasoline counterpart vehicles, although this was not universally true. The severe effects on methanol engine lubricant performance resulting from cold-engine, short-trip service was demonstrated in a series of special tests of two cars, methanol and gasoline, in side-by-side service. Methanol fleet vehicles incorporated a variety of approaches to the cold-start problem -- ranging from no special engineering or systems to sophisticated systems designed to overcome the problem entirely. Cold-start systems specially designed for these vehicles did not perform as well as had been expected, probably because they were early prototype versions and were subject to some early, unforeseen problems.

A methanol-fueled fleet test demonstration program was conducted using administrative-type vehicles to determine the feasibility of using methanol as an alternative fuel. Over 1,026,000 miles were accumulated using 64 administrative-type vehicles. Approximately 750,000 of these miles were accumulated using M85 methanol fuel. Existing engines engineered for use with gasoline and special methanol engines engineered for use with M85 methanol fuel were included in the program. Fuel economy, in miles per gallon, obtained for vehicles using M85 fuel is shown to be approximately one-half that obtained using regular unleaded gasoline. When the costs of M85 fuel and unleaded gasoline are included in economic calculations, it is shown that using M85 increases the fuel cost by a factor of approximately 3.0. No catastrophic engine failure occurred using either fuel. Even though wear rates, indicated from used oil sample analyses, obtained when using M85 fuel appear to be 2 to 4 times those obtained using unleaded gasoline, actual wear, from inspections and measurements, does not appear to be as severe. No significant increase in individual vehicle maintenance, other than increased oil drains, was noted for the methanol vehicles. M85 refueling stations were set up at four fleet test sites, and no significant operational problem, safety or otherwise, was encountered during the program.
