Gasoline come primarily from petroleum cuts, it is the preferred liquid fuel in our lives. Two gasoline samples of octane numbers 91 and 95 from Saudi Arabia petrol stations were studied. This study was achieved at three different temperatures 20oC, 30oC and 50oC representing the change in temperatures of the different seasons of the year. Both the evaporated gases of light aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) of gasoline samples inside the tank were subjected to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively via capillary gas chromatography. The detailed hydrocarbon composition and the octane number of the studied gasoline samples were determined using detailed hydrocarbon analyzer. The idea of research is indicating the impact of light aromatic compounds in gasoline on the toxic effect of human and environment on the one hand, and on octane number of gasoline on the other hand. Although the value of octane number will be reduced but this will have a positive impact on the environment as a way to produce clean fuel.

Makalah ini membahas tentang pengaruh laju aliran bahan bakar CNG (compressed natural gas) terhadap performa kendaraan roda empat jenis minibus. Pengaturan dan pengujian dilakukan untuk mencari setelan laju aliran CNG yang terbaik agar performa kendaraan optimal. Tahap pertama dari penelitian ini adalah pemasangan peralatan kit konverter tipe injeksi sequensial pada kendaraan. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengujian performa kendaraan menggunakan  dyno  test  atau  sasis  dyno.  Pada  awalnya,  bahan  bakar  yang  digunakan  adalah  Pertamax  RON (research  octane  number)  92  yang  kemudian  diganti  dengan  CNG.  Dari  pengujian  dua  bahan  bakar  tersebut diketahui bahwa terjadi penurunan daya dan torsi kendaraan bila menggunakan CNG. Tahap berikutnya adalah melakukan pengaturan laju aliran CNG dengan cara mengatur durasi penyemprotan injektor. Hasil uji yang ditampilkan dalam bentuk grafik putaran terhadap daya dan putaran terhadap torsi memperlihatkan bahwa performa kendaraan  berbahan  bakar  CNG  dengan  pengaturan  laju  aliran  gas  meningkat  sekitar  3%.  Sedangkan  bila penggunaan CNG dibandingkan dengan Pertamax RON 92, terjadi penurunan daya dan torsi pada kendaraan sebesar 12,4% dan 23,7%.Kata kunci : ratio laju udara, CNG, kit konverter, laju aliran gas, mesin bensin

In the present work, the effect of adding ethanol or methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) to gasoline on the regulated and unregulated emissions from an internal combustion engine with a typical three-way catalyst was studied. The addition of ethanol to fuel (10% w/w) increased both the research octane number and the Reid vapor pressure of the fuel, whereas adding 11% w/w MTBE caused an increase only in the research octane number of the fuel. When the fuel contained MTBE, less hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and acetaldehyde were emitted in the tailpipe. The increased emissions of acetaldehyde and ethanol were the main disadvantages of using ethanol.
