Effects of fuel volatility on driveability of 1980 model cars at low and intermediate ambient temperature

OSTI ID:6783160
In previous CRC studies, equations were developed to predict vehicle driveability at intermediate ambient temperatures (nominally 40-70/sup 0/F) as a function of gasoline distillation properties. Such equations are useful for predicting the driveability performance of commercial gasolines. The purposes of the present study were: (1) to supplement those previous studies at intermediate temperatures with data for 1980 model year vehicles with and without closed-loop fuel control systems; and (2) to determine the relationship between fuel volatility and vehicle driveability at low ambient temperatures (<20/sup 0/F), thus expanding the applicability of equations for predicting driveability performance.
