The invention discloses an alcohol-ether fuel for diesel engines of ships and vehicles as well as the gas-liquid synthesis method thereof. The alcohol-ether fuel comprises the following components (by weight): methanol 36 parts, diesel oil No.0 30 parts, solvent oil 31 parts, additives 2.5 parts, and dimethyl ether 0.5parts, wherein the additives include tert-butyl alcohol, tween-20, cerium nitrate, n-hexanol and nuclear magnetic resonance agent. The systhesis method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding methanol, diesel oil and solvent oil into a reaction tank, heating to 45 to 55 DEG C, stirring under a pressure of 0.2 kg for 12 to 18 min, adding the additives and dimethyl ether, mixing, stirring for 3 to 5 min, fine-filtering, and standing to obtain the final product. The alcohol-ether fuel has the advantages of no pollution, simple process, rich raw materials, low cost, no lead, high cetane number, and good anti-knock property, safety and stability, and can be used alone or mixed with common diesel oil for alcohol-ether ships and vehicles. The alcohol-ether fuel is an ideal product to substitute for the diesel oil No.0.
