Abstract	To explore new and multifunctional additives for methanol-gasoline, tartaric ester were synthesized and screened as phase stabilizer and saturation vapor pr essure depressor for methanol - gasoline.  The effect of the esters’ structure on the efficiency are discussed. The results show that the stabilities of the blends depend on the length of the glycolic esters’ alkoxy group. In addition, the tartaric esters also can depress the saturation vapor pressure of methanol-gasoline effectively in M15.
