Abstract: In this paper will be examined the use of gasoline-methanol mixtures in a four-stroke engine, which is used for the move of an alternative generator. In the tests the gas emissions and the fuel consumption, where examined at idle and under full load(1KW) conditions. Specifically, the mixtures: gasoline, gasoline-10%methanol 20%methanol, gasoline-30%methanol, gasoline-40%methanol, gasoline-50%methanol, gasoline-60%methanol, and gasoline-70%methanol where tested, without any regulation of the engine relatively to the air/fuel ratio, maintaining the original adjustment that concerned gasoline was maintained. An important reduction of emissions was noted while the percentage of the methanol was increased. During the tests the fuel consumption was recorded for every mixture separately and for every load condition. It was observed a small increase of consumption when the percentage of methanol in the fuel was increased.
