RUNNING-IN ADDITIVES AND SLURRIES: EFFECTS ON IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
Results are given of tests carried out to evaluate the use of fuel- or oil-soluble metallic additives to speed the running-in process of vehicle engines. Organic derivatives of aluminium, iron, chromium and silicon were used and assessed for effectiveness in terms of top-ring weight-loss and fuel consumption. In a separate test aimed at economising in fuel oil, solid fuels suspended in diesel fuel as slurries were tested using cellulose, starches, liquid hydrocarbon and carbon as hybrid fuel components. Main considerations were adequate delivery, performance and emission characteristics of the various blends in comparison with a base oil. (TRRL)
