Legacy Vehicle Fuel System Testing with Intermediate Ethanol Blends
This project was sponsored by Dennis Smith at the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Program under the Clean Cities program.
Abstract
The goal of this project is to make a high-level compatibility assessment of legacy vehicle fuel system components to intermediate blends of gasoline and ethanol, specifically focusing on vehicles produced in the mid-1990s. These vehicles were designed before ethanol was a common gasoline component; therefore, their tolerance to higher concentrations of ethanol is not certain.
