Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications and Patents of the Northern Utilization Research and Development Division, Peoria, Illinois, for the Period January-June 1957 Since addition of alcohol to gasoline raises the vapor pressure of gasoline, the resulting blend will be more volatile than either alcohol or gasoline alone. The alcohol-gasoline blend may, therefore, have a greater tendency towards vapor lock than either component. The purpose of the road and laboratory tests was to establish a criterion for the susceptibility of a blend to vapor lock. The criterion was found to be the temperature at which the liquid-vapor ratio of the fuel equaled 30. On the basis of the data given, blends may be formulated which will show the same resistance towards vapor lock as commercial gasoline.
