Operation of Spark Ignition Engines on Highly Oxygenated Gasoline
Presented are results of laboratory and motor stand tests of commercial gasolines with varying percentage of oxygen-containing additives. The article discusses influence of hydrocarbonic and oxygenic petrol components on techno-economic and environmental performance of direct-injection engine. Optimum oxygen contents in gasoline is defined from viewpoint of power, fuel economy and noxious emissions.
