A description is given of a program to develop a laboratory bench procedure for the evaluation of dispersant-detergent gasoline additive effectiveness in controlling and inhibiting engine intake system deposition. A bench apparatus was designed and built as a testing tool which provides data correlating to actual engine results in: (1) the carburetor throttle plate and throat area; (2) the induction system (port and valve areas); and (3) additive effectiveness. The apparatus is simple in design and operation, and provides the advantage of evaluating both carburetor and intake deposits simultaneously.
