Abstract

In this experimental study, it was investigated the effect of lead ratio in gasoline on exhaust emission. The measurements of two different lead ratio gasoline (0.15 g/l, 0.0297 g/l), which are the same octane number (91-octane) were conducted in a four-cylinder, four-stroke SI engine. The results showed that the ratio of lead in gasoline is a very important parameter influencing the content of exhaust emission.
