FUEL

Mr. Lombardi, Selig, Moffre

Fuels

Come from Refined Crude Oil Organic Compounds

Gasoline Diesel Alt Fuels

Gasoline

Aliphatic hydrocarbon. Hydrogen and Carbon arranged in chains

Octane

8 Carbons chained together Adds length to Gas chain Knock deterrent - resistance of the

fuel to self-igniting

Diesel

Similar to Gasoline (Carbon chain) Much longer (more energy)

Alt. Fuels

Ethanol LP CNG Bio Diesel

Ethanol

High Octane Clean burning American-made Renewable fuel $$$$ Distill Energy Neutral

Propane Injection System

Requires another complete fuel system average loss of 5 to 10% in miles per gallon 104 octane rating domestically produced fuel 70 % less hydrocarbons (smog) 50 % less carbon monoxide 20 % less NOx 18-20 % less CO2

CNG

Similar to LP Refueling Station more $$$$ 40 % cheaper than Gas

BioDeisel

Mixed with Petroleum Diesel Fuel Long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable

oils or animal fats Made from agricultural co-products and

byproducts soybean oil natural oils Greases

The End
