Abstract

The operation of conventional (hydrocarbon) fuels causes certain effects in the internal combustion engine. Despite the satisfactory efficiency of internal combustion engines, their fuel systems, particularly the injectors, are subject to constant fouling. The article analyzes the possibility of reducing the deposit of high-pressure gasoline injectors using the alcohol addition of ethanol and butanol. The study was conducted under the engine and non-engine conditions. Fuel injection timing was analyzed when fueling with different mixtures, and non-engine analyses were conducted to determine changes affecting the injectors. The results indicate the possibility of reducing injector hole coking using ethanol and butanol as a 20% additive to the base fuel.
