Spark Plug Fouling: Behavior and Countermeasure

Gasoline Oxidation Stability: Deposit Formation Tendencies Evaluated by PetroOxy and Autoclave Methods and GDI/PFI Engine Tests

“…Several authors have studied the physical and chemical characteristics of gasoline with and without additives and its impact on several combustion processes such as autoignition, , heat release, and soot precursor and soot formation, among others. All these features can lead to deposit formation at different parts of the gasoline engine such as the injector nozzle, − spark plug, , intake valves, ,, and combustion chamber walls . Ganeau et al have studied the formation of deposits in pistons using standard gasoline in an optical engine.…”
