    The above link tells that investigations had been taken and results showed that they have low combustion characteristics when compared to diesel.Though they have similar properties , the blend us having lesser heat output.
    The advantages are reduction in nox and snox with soot.
    Note: in alcohol group, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol can be used as direct fuel in si engines and they have higher octane rating when compared to diesel.
