A diesel engine fuel composition is provided. A diesel engine fuel composition is provided, the diesel engine fuel composition comprising methanol at a level of at least 20% by weight of the fuel, water at a level of at least 20% by weight of the fuel, and 20: 80-80. Level of sodium chloride, comprising a ratio of 20 water to methanol, a total amount of water and methanol of at least 60% by weight of the fuel composition, and a total amount of at least 0.1% by weight of the fuel When present as an additive is 0-0.5% by weight of the fuel, and the level of perfume is 0-1.5% of the composition when present as an additive. Also provided is a process for powering a compression ignition engine using a fuel comprising methanol and water, which process includes preheating of the intake air and the use of associated systems and fuel compositions.
