Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7310855
All gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment at six U.S. Army installations were operated during the evaluation period on VV-G-001690A Regular Grade unleaded gasoline. Special Grade 91.0 RON unleaded gasoline was specified but was unavailable; therefore, unleaded gasoline in the 92.0 to 94.0 RON range was used through out the program. During this evaluation period, no detrimental effects were noted on material handling equipment (MHE), engineer support equipment, or commercial, tactical, or combat vehicles operated under typical daily military operation. Also, no increases in maintenance operating costs were noted during this evaluation.
