scope:

NEN-EN 16761-2 specifies a determination method of methanol in automotive ethanol (E85) fuel (also designated as ethanol (E85) automotive fuel or shortly "E85") by capillary gas chromatography using heart cutting technique. Fuel quality specifications for this product exist, see Bibliography Entry [1]. This standard is applicable to fuels having a methanol content from about 0,5 % (V/V) to about 1,5 % (V/V). Other methanol contents can also be determined, however no precision data for results outside the specified range is available.
