Title: Automotive fuels reference book. Second edition

Book ·
OSTI ID:160564

The first edition of this best-selling, widely-used book was published as the Automotive Fuels Handbook in 1990. Since that time, significant progress has been made in fuels technology, and major changes in the industry have occurred. Some of these changes include the wider introduction of reformulated fuels, the introduction of new additives for primary and secondary treatment of diesel fuels, and the increase in legislation related to exhaust emissions control. This second edition covers these changes and provides the most thorough single resource of fuels technology currently available. The book has been extensively updated to reflect current technology on automotive fuels and fuel quality. Information has been included on the health and environmental effects of fuels, the alternative fuels LPG, LNG, and CNG, and tables of conversions and heating values. Written from a global viewpoint, the Automotive Fuels Reference Book covers fuels and procedures used on a worldwide basis. The book is an excellent reference for automotive engineers, fuel technologists, commercial and academic researchers, fuel additive manufacturers, environmentalists, and government personnel in energy-related positions. The book also features an extensive appendix section, including a glossary of terms, fuel consumption and quality regulations, worldwide survey of emissions legislation, and more.
