Why methanol is not used in CI engine?

Here are some alternative fuels for internal combustion (IC) engines: Natural gas: A preferred fuel for IC engines because of its reduced carbon to hydrogen ratio and high calorific value. Natural gas can help reduce CO2 emissions. Biodiesel: A renewable energy source that can be used in IC engines without significant design changes. Bioethanol: A renewable fuel with a relatively high octane number compared to gasoline. Bioethanol can reduce motor vehicle emissions compared to fossil fuels. Hydrogen: A clean and sustainable energy source that can generate large power with high thermal... Show more

Here are some alternative fuels for internal combustion (IC) engines:

Natural gas: A preferred fuel for IC engines because of its reduced carbon to hydrogen ratio and high calorific value. Natural gas can help reduce CO2 emissions.
Biodiesel: A renewable energy source that can be used in IC engines without significant design changes.
Bioethanol: A renewable fuel with a relatively high octane number compared to gasoline. Bioethanol can reduce motor vehicle emissions compared to fossil fuels.
Hydrogen: A clean and sustainable energy source that can generate large power with high thermal efficiency. Hydrogen can also reduce harmful emissions.
Acetylene: A colorless gas that is highly combustible with a high flame speed and fast energy release. Acetylene has a very wide flammability range and minimum ignition energy required for ignition.
Biogas: A biomass-derived fuel that can be used in IC engines because of its better mixing ability with air and clean burning nature. 

Other alternative fuels for IC engines include:
Fischer-Tropsch fuel
Dimethyl ether
Propane
