Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

The results of tests of a new E30 bioethanol fuel developed at OAO VNII NP (All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Oil Refining OJSC) in a full-scale injection engine are reported. The test results allowed determination of efficiency, fuel economy, and toxicity of exhaust gases for engines running on experimental specimens of bioethanol fuel vis-à-vis automotive gasolines.

Notes

  1. The number 30 for the fuel name has been chosen tentatively as the average ethanol content, which may be from 20 to 40 vol. % in test specimens.

  2. Engines of 4Ch8.2/7.1 type and of similar designs are installed in more than 28% of motor vehicles sold in Russia from 2011 through 2015.
