Abstract
It has been known that engine exhaust emissions are largely depend on the characteristics of the engine technology. When engine emissions are reduced to lower levels the effect of fuel quality on engine emissions become significant.
The objective these tests was to see if addition of mono-,di-, and tri-aromatics had the same effect on emissions produced by low-sulfur diesel fuel and high-sulfur diesel fuel. Further, by simultaneous addition of mono-,di-, and tri-aromatics authors wanted to see interaction and interrelation with other fuel characteristics. Obtained results show that simultaneous addition of mono-,di-, and tri-aromatics into low-sulfur and high-sulfur fuel has different effect on diesel engine emissions.
Automotive industry is striving to produce engine with improved fuel economy, both to conserve natural resorces and to limit pollutant and CO2 emissions. Despite improvements in emissions control technology such levels are not possible without higher fuel quality.Keywords: diesel fuel, aromatics , diesel engine emission
