Road tests were made with a 4-cylinder truck motor, 12-hp., 75-mm. bore, and 130-mm. stroke, the weight of the truck being 1,600 kg. Compression of the motor was raised from 4.6 to 6.0 atm. by change of pistons. Fuels used on the test were: (a) Pure MeOH, (b) national fuel (benzine: EtOH=1:1), (c) benzine with 20% kerosine and 2% lead tetraethyl, (d) benzine with 30% kerosine and 2% lead tetraethyl. Fuel required per 100 km., maximum speed on the level, and average speed, respectively, for the different fuels: (a) 22 1., 80 km. per hr. and 46 km.; (b) 11.6 1., 85 km. and 50 km.; (c) 12.7 1., 93 km. and 62 km.; (d) 11.7 1., 90 km. and 55 km. With pure MeOH and 6 atm. compression there was trouble from preignition without detonation; with 5% H₂O the MeOH ignited properly.
