A search for the proper corrosion inhibitor for methanol fuel was attempted in order to solve the problem of corrosion of components in the fuel system of the Otto cycle engine. Firstly, immersion tests were made to examine the methanol fuel's corrosiveness on metals. 14 test specimens including aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, iron, copper, and metal platings which are extensively used in the fuel system were subjected to tests. The corroding effect of M100 on solder plating was prominent. Zinc- and aluminum-based metals also corroded. In contrast, nickel and stainless steel did not corrode.
