Of the characteristics associated with internal-combustion engine fuels, heat of combustion, BTU/gallon, and rate of burn are particularly important to performance engine builders and enthusiasts.

Alternative fuels for spark ignition engines encompass a diverse array of oxygenated and renewable compounds, chiefly bioethanol, butanol, methanol and emerging candidates such as acetone and ...

Have you ever wondered how fuel gets from the tank of a car to its engine? Well, for a diesel engine, it all starts with the lift pump, which is a low-pressure pump that draws the fuel up and out of ...

Emulsified fuels—most commonly water-in-diesel blends stabilised by surfactants—have emerged as a practical strategy to curb harmful exhaust in compression-ignition engines while retaining or ...

Diesel engines are torquey and efficient powerhouses capable of outlasting a comparable gas engine. But despite their robust build quality and beefier internals, there are things to avoid if you have ...

Countries like Brazil have successfully adopted flex-fuel technology on a large scale. The success of Brazil’s ethanol model is often cited as an example for India as it seeks alternatives to fossil ...

Despite the steadily rising popularity of turbochargers and superchargers for hopping up early- and late-model hot rods, nitrous oxide, better known as “throttle in a bottle,” has never lost its ...
