EXTENDERS AND DILUTENTS FOR MIDDLE DISTILLATES--A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION
Recent studies have demonstrated that conventional compression-ignition engines, with fairly minor changes, can operate on lower grade fuel oils. The present paper outlines some experiences with middle distillates adulterated with readily available organic liquids as a means of increasing the overall inventory and thereby extending the availability of natural crudes. Limited reliability and durability data of engines operating on diluted fuels is presented.
