.... In addition particulate emissions by number and size are currently much debated with regard to health concerns. Automotive technologies are under rapid development to meet the specific targets. While fuel quality has been specified accordingly for 2000 and with mandatory values for 2005 qualities, further...

... Abstract. Diesel engine emissions are sensitive to fuel quality. Characteristics such as sulfur and aromatic content, density and cetane number are known to be the most important parameters. Catalytic hydrotreatment allows the refiner to adjust these characteristics to variable levels...

... Abstract. Combustion in compression ignition engines is affected by fuel quality and engine design. This paper deals with the effects on exhaust emissions of fuels having reduced end boiling point and/or reduced sulphur and aromatics content with respect to typical present day fuels. Both...

... to satisfy needs for improved environmental protection. The world-wide expected increase of Diesel-powered vehicles in the future and consequently the long term supply and demand of Diesel fuel are discussed in detail. The influence of Diesel fuel quality on power, fuel consumption and exhaust gas...
