The current trend is the use of alcohol as fuel additive.5% to 10% alcohol can be added to the fuel without the engine requiring readjustment.There are numerous advantages for using alcohol:

  • Octane enhancer MTBE can be replaced
  • The CO emission of the engine is reduced
  • The dependence on imported crude oil can be reduced
  • The net CO2 is reduced
