Abstract:

Weathering tests were conducted to examine the effects on fuel volatility and octane characteristics. The commercially available gasolines utilized in the study represented a wide geographic distribution for both winter and summer fuels. Aging was accomplished by heating the fuel samples to 110 degrees F and maintaining that temperature for 48 hours. Time histories of Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) were conducted. Fuel octane evaluations, both HON and RON, were done. Component characterization by gas chromatography were made to identify components lost during the aging process.
