Today, the destructive effects of pollutants created by gasoline are well known, to reduce the damage of the effects, scientists have been seeking a better formula to replace it with the gasoline that is being used right now. One of the ways proposed and utilized throughout the years was the usage of different additives. Since some additives were putting the environment and human life in danger, choosing the right additive became the next concern for researchers. The main purpose of this paper is to test a blend of gasoline, oxygenate additive; Methanol and metal nanoparticles: Fe2O3 and TiO2 in a 4 stroke engine to investigate the effects of the new blend on the engine parameters such as power and torque and also the amount of target pollutant gases emitted which are CO2, CO, NOx and HC. The experiments were carried out under partial and full throttle at four speeds of 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 each time. The improvement of engine performance and a reduction in emission of pollutant gases were evident.
