The Effect on Vehicle Performance and Exhaust Emissions of Gasoline – Ethanol Blend which is High Ethanol Rate

In this study, the effects of blending gasoline and ethanol which will probably be consumed as an alternative for gasoline in the future on wheel power, CO, HC, NOx and CO2 emissions were examined at spark ignition engines, at vehicles with electronic ignition system and injection fuel system. As fuel, gasoline-ethanol blend with a %85 ethanol were used. According to the results of the experiment, wheel power was decreased. Fuel consumption was increased. In case exhaust emissions, CO, CO2 and NOx emissions were decreased, HC emission was increased.
