The Alternative Fuels Utilization Program (AFUP) addresses several options as petroleum replacements for highway vehicles. At this time, the AFUP effort is concentrating on alcohol fuels with the goal of bringing the end-use technology for alcohol/gasoline blends to the point of commercial readiness by 1982-83. This Test Plan covers the operational and reporting procedures associated with the fleet vehicles and supporting facilities, the latter encompassing both the garage/fueling complex and the emissions/fuel economy test facility. The operational instructions and requirements provide for pretest and daily fleet activities; vehicle maintenance and replacement; fuel surveillance; and dynamometer testing for emissions and fuel economy on a chassis dynamometer.
