CRC (Coordinating Research Council) octane number requirement rating workshop. Held in d'Hanis, Texas on April 10-14, 1989
The main objective of the workshop was to improve the application of the CRC E-15 Technique for Determination of Octane Number Requirements of Light-Duty Vehicles among people familiar with the Technique so as to provide consistent results for vehicles equipped with modern automotive technology. This objective was pursued for both the set-up portion of the technique and the actual octane rating of the vehicle. An additional objective was to gather comments from the raters on the E-15 Technique as preparation for a proposed rewrite of the Technique. Since the workshop was to be an educational experience rather than a source of octane requirement data, emphasis was placed upon exchange of information as opposed to data collection and analysis. The intent of the workshop was not to rate the raters, but to reduce the laboratory-to-laboratory variations in the application of the E-15 Technique. Thirteen 1989 model vehicles were available for track testing. As indicated below, Five of the vehicles were set-up with auxiliary fuel systems so the full E-15 octane rating technique could be performed. The other eight vehicles were equipped with tachometer and vacuum gauge for determination of transmission characteristics.
