STUDY ON THE RELATION BETWEEN EXHAUST GASS EMISSION AND AUTOMOBILE FUEL (PART 1). THE INFLUENCE OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBON CONTENT IN FUELS, ON THE EXHAUST GAS COMPOSITION

This paper describes the effect on exhaust emissions of aromatic hydrocarbon (ar) added to fuel instead of lead to obtain a high octane number. Test results showed that generally a high ar content had the same tendencies in steady state and in transient driving. There was no increase of CO gass emission except at high speed and engine loading, but oxides of nitrogen were shown to increase from 20-50% at high ar content. HC emissions measured by ndir showed less at higher ar content, but fid results showed no obvious difference. /TRRL/
