Well it was never used as a fuel for transportation as it is extremely volatile. It's flash point is at 54 degrees F/ 12.2 degrees C.
[The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air]
Apparently it's used as chafing fuel but I'm only reading now what that actually is.
Hope that helps!
What are some possible uses for gelled methanol and why was it never used as a fuel in transportation?
