  2. Hydrogen fuel enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fuel_enhancement

    Hydrogen fuel enhancement from electrolysis (using automotive alternators) has been promoted for use with gasoline-powered and diesel trucks, [14] [15] [16] although electrolysis-based designs have repeatedly failed efficiency tests and contradict widely accepted laws of thermodynamics (i.e. conservation of energy).

  3. Shell Rotella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella

    Both Rotella T4 15W-40 conventional and, Rotella T6 5W-40 and 15w-40 Synthetic both list the JASO MA/MA 2 standard; this information can be found on the bottle adjacent to the SAE/API rating stamp. JASO is an acronym that stands for Japanese Automotive Standards Organization. Note that the 10W-30 conventional oil does not list JASO-MA.

  4. Common ethanol fuel mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ethanol_fuel_mixtures

    Summary of the main ethanol blends used around the world in 2013. Several common ethanol fuel mixtures are in use around the world. The use of pure hydrous or anhydrous ethanol in internal combustion engines (ICEs) is only possible if the engines are designed or modified for that purpose, and used only in automobiles, light-duty trucks and motorcycles.

  5. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) also has standards for motor oil. Introduced in 2004, GF-4 [27] applies to SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30 viscosity grade oils. In general, ILSAC works with API in creating the newest gasoline oil specification, with ILSAC adding an extra requirement of fuel ...

  6. E85 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85

    This is due to the lower heating value of neat ethanol making it difficult to start engines in relatively cold climates without pre-heating air intake, faster cranking, or mixing varying fractions of gasoline according to climate. Cold starting in cold climates is the primary reason ethanol fuel is blended with any gasoline fraction.

  7. List of gasoline additives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

    Butyl rubber (as polyisobutylene succinimide, detergent to prevent fouling of diesel fuel injectors) Ferrous picrate, used in diesel fuel to increase fuel conversion efficiency and reduce emissions; Two-stroke oil, for lubrication of small engines reliant on crankcase compression; Upper cylinder lubricant, extensively advertised but of unproven ...

  8. Crankcase dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_dilution

    Other than the piston rings, “blow-by” gases can push the fuel oil past the rings and into the crankcase. [1] “Blow-by” gases are a mix of fuel oil and exhaust gases that push past the piston rings. Crankcase dilution is caused more when the lube oil is fresher. [3] Another cause of crankcase dilution is a slow or delayed injection ...

  9. Consumption map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumption_map

    Consumption map of a 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engineA consumption map or efficiency map [1] is a chart that displays the brake-specific fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine at a given rotational speed and mean effective pressure, in grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh).
