EFFECT OF FUEL AND LUBRICANT ADDITIVES ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS

THE EFFECT OF ADDITIVES ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS WAS STUDIED WHEN ADDITIVES WERE IN ENGINE OIL, IN GASOLINE, AND INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO THE EXHAUST GAS. SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION OF HYDROCARBON AND CARBON MONOXIDE EMISSIONS WAS OBTAINED ONLY WHEN PEROXIDES WERE INJECTED IN THE PRESENCE OF SECONDARY AIR INTO THE EXHAUST GAS AT THE EXHAUST PORT. FUEL ADDITIVES WERE EVALUATED FOR FAVORABLY MODIFYING COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS AND QUENCH VOLUME. NO SUBSTANTIAL EFFECTS WERE FOUND. ENGINE OIL ADDITIVE TYPE AND CONCENTRATION ALSO HAD NO SUBSTANTIAL EFFECT ON HYDROCARBON EMISSIONS CAUSED BY COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. /HSL/
