No Spam. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The only difference is the viscosity. Because methanol requires a richer air/fuel ratio, there is more fuel dilution of the oil, especially in the cylinder bores, so going to a thicker oil offsets the increased fuel dilution. ... Both XP9 and XP6 are formulated to work with methanol fuel

Answer 2

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) produced by transesterification of vegetable oil with methanol is one of the renewable fuels, effective in easing down greenhouse gas emissions. ... In the current process, the vegetable oil transesterification is catalyzed by alkali hydroxide dissolved in methanol.
