TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an experimental study of the alcohols-gasoline and gasoline-alcohols dual-fuel spark ignition (DFSI) combustion for knock suppression and higher engine efficiency using a gasoline engine with high compression ratio.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of the fuel blends of biodiesel and JP-8 may be effective in improving the characteristics of biodiesels and it was found that NO x emissions increased with the increase of the amount of biodised fuel in the test fuels.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was concluded that the alternative fuel most likely to gain general acceptance is synthetic gasoline made from coal or natural gas, or in some areas from agricultural by-products.
Abstract: Toward the end of this century the shortfall of supply below demand of the products of natural crude oil will become severe. Research is already well under way to provide alternative fuels for spark ignition engines which will be independent of natural crude oil. These include fuels from oil shales and tar sands, as well as synthetic fuels, alcohols, and gases; sources include coal, natural gas and biological origins. These fuels will cost two to three times as much in real terms as gasoline from oil does now, so an even stronger emphasis on fuel economy will be required. Most of these alternative fuels are more suited to the spark ignition engine than the compression-ignition engine, and this paper predicts that the changeover to them will cause an increase rather than a decrease in the market penetration of the spark ignition engine. It is concluded that the alternative fuel most likely to gain general acceptance is synthetic gasoline made from coal or natural gas, or in some areas from agricultural by-products.
