Experimental Study on the Influence of Gasoline Additives on Emission and Deposits of Light-Duty Vehicle

Abstract:

Qualified gasoline additive could improve the vehicle emission, fuel economy and deposits in engine. However, some people consider that additive plays a little role in the gasoline, for the quality of additives is still quite uneven on the market. This paper researched the influence of additives on complete-vehicle emission by adding 10 different market additives into gasoline, respectivly. Then one qualified additive was chosen and blended into base oil to do road running test with driving 1.2 × 104 km on a light-duty vehicle. The results show that vehicle emissions could decreased 15% averagely and deposits in engine can be cleaned obviously with qualified additive.
