Alfred Charles Glyn Egerton
- ... that Alfred Charles Glyn Egerton used liquid methane to power a bus? Source: "In view of recent developments in the gas industry special mention may be made of his pioneer experiments carried out during the early years of the war on the use of liquefied methane as an alternative fuel to petrol... The technical problems connected with its use are concerned with the design of a suitable liquefaction plant, fuel tanks sufficiently well insulated to avoid excessive losses by evaporation and mechanically strong enough to withstand the rough treatment to which road vehicles are subjected. A special design of carburettor is necessary for the engine and there are minor problems associated with re-fuelling and with large-scale storage. All these problems were satisfactorily solved and extensive practical trials were carried out successfully on a municipal motor bus in service in the Midlands." (link)
