Why methanol is not used in CI engine?

Why methanol is not used in CI engine? Correct Answer Its octane number is high and the cetane number is low

Methanol is not used in CI engines because of its high octane number and low cetane number. Pure methanol and gasoline in various percentages have been extensively tested in engines and vehicles for a number of years.
