Law enforcement officials said that it is not illegal to use methanol fuel in hotels.

methanol fuel is a new fuel with energy saving, safety and environmental protection, which is advocated by the state. At present, methanol fuel is more popular and is used all over the country. It is mainly made by blending methanol with water and other additives. After burning, carbon dioxide and water vapor are produced, and the combustion is smokeless and tasteless. However, if the technology does not pass or the operation is improper, it will be dazzling and choking.

methanol fuel is a new type of clean fuel, which is made of industrial methanol or fuel methanol, denatured alcohol additive and existing national standard gasoline and diesel oil (or component oil) by strict scientific process according to a certain volume (or weight ratio). It can replace gasoline and diesel oil and be used in various motor vehicles and cookers. The raw materials for methanol production are mainly coal, natural gas, coalbed methane, coke oven gas, etc. Especially, using high-sulfur inferior coal and coke oven gas to produce methanol can not only improve the comprehensive utilization of resources but also reduce environmental pollution.

However, the relevant departments have also issued some safety regulations for restaurants using methanol fuel (environmental oil). The following are the details.

1. Safety requirements for purchasing methanol fuel:

A. The quality standard of methanol fuel should comply with Alcohol-based Liquid Fuel (GB1663-1996). ?
