This long-awaited latest edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, yet retains the original fundamental fuels information that readers find so useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for those with an interest in or a need to understand automotive fuels. Because automotive fuels can no longer be developed in isolation from the engines that will convert the fuel into the power necessary to drive our automobiles, knowledge of automotive fuels will also be essential to those working with automotive engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall quantities of fuel additives increasingly play an important role in bridging the gap that often exists between fuel that can easily be produced and fuel that is needed by the ever-more sophisticated automotive engine. This book pulls together in a single, extensively referenced volume, the three different but related topics of automotive fuels, fuel additives, and engines, and shows how all three areas work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes a brief history of automotive fuels development, followed by chapters on automotive fuels manufacture from crude oil and other fossil sources. One chapter is dedicated to the manufacture of automotive fuels and fuel blending components from renewable sources, including e-fuels. The safe handling, transport, and storage of fuels, from all sources, are covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew combustion systems to achieve reduced emissions and increased efficiency are discussed, and the way in which the fuels' physical and chemical characteristics affect these combustion processes and the emissions produced are included. As CO2 is now an important emission there is also discussion regarding low and non-carbon fuels and how they might be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is also discussion on engine fuel system development and how these different systems affect the corresponding fuel requirements. Because the book is for a global market, fuel system technologies that only exist in the legacy fleet in some markets are included. The way in which fuel requirements are developed and specified is discussed. This covers test methods from simple laboratory bench tests, through engine testing, and long-term test procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Richards, Jim Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SAE International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 2.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781468605785\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAE International","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43008358154355,"sku":"9.78147E+12","price":173.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f404d33c-9ad1-414f-b24d-fe23c85895ff.jpg?v=1745324290","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/automotive-fuels-reference-book-fourth-edition-9781468605785","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
