  2. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    This way performance is kept at its optimum while mostly eliminating the risk of engine damage caused by knock (e.g. when running on low octane fuel). [5] An early example of this is in turbocharged Saab H engines , where a system called Automatic Performance Control was used to reduce boost pressure if it caused the engine to knock.

  3. List of gasoline additives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the registration of all fuel additives which are commercially distributed for use in highway motor vehicles in the United States, [8] and may require testing and ban harmful additives. The EPA also regularly reviews the health and net economic benefits of Clean Air Act policies. [9]

  4. Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline

    The fuel-characteristics of a particular gasoline-blend, which will resist igniting too early are measured as the octane rating of the fuel blend. Gasoline blends with stable octane ratings are produced in several fuel-grades for various types of motors. A low octane rated fuel may cause engine knocking and reduced efficiency in reciprocating ...

  5. Low-speed pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-Speed_Pre-Ignition

    Low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), also known as stochastic pre-ignition (SPI), [1] is a pre-ignition event that occurs in gasoline vehicle engines when there is a premature ignition of the main fuel charge. [2] LSPI is most common in certain turbocharged direct-injection vehicles operating in low-speed and high-load driving conditions. [3]

  6. Antiknock agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiknock_agent

    In the U.S., where tetraethyllead had been blended with gasoline (primarily to boost octane levels) since the early 1920s, standards to phase out leaded gasoline were first implemented in 1973. In 1995, leaded fuel accounted for only 0.6% of total gasoline sales and less than 2,000 tons of lead per year.

  7. Octane rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    An octane rating, or octane number, is a standard measure of a fuel's ability to withstand compression in an internal combustion engine without causing engine knocking.The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating.

  8. Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylcyclopentadienyl...

    Although initially marketed in 1958 as a smoke suppressant for gas turbines, MMT was further developed as an octane enhancer in 1974. When the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered the phase out of TEL in gasoline in 1973, new fuel additives were sought. TEL has been used in certain countries as an additive to increase the ...

  9. MTBE controversy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTBE_controversy

    The MTBE controversy concerns methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive that replaced tetraethyllead.MTBE is an oxygenate and raises gasoline's octane number.Its use declined in the United States in response to environmental and health concerns.
