Kendaraan bermotor di Indonesia yang menjadi sumber emisi gas buang terbesar adalah sepeda motor. Ini merupakan kurangnya perhatian pengguna kendaraan bermotor dengan perbandingan kompresi mesin kendaraan yang tinggi cenderung memilih mengisi bahan bakar sepeda motornya dengan premium yang harganya lebih murah namun memiliki angka oktan yang rendah. Hal ini tentu akan menimbulkan masalah terhadap pembakaran yang tidak sempurna. Efek yang ditimbulkan adalah menyebabkan meningkatnya polutan pencemaran udara. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan diatas adalah dengan cara menggunakan Hydrocarbon Crack System (HCS), HCS bekerja untuk menyempurnakan proses pembakaran, sehingga dapat menurunkan kadar emisi gas buang kendaraan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini melihat pengaruh penggunaan Hydrocarbon Crack System (HCS) terhadap performa dan kandungan emisi gas buang yang dihasilkan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa penggunaan HCS pada sepeda motor Honda Supra X 125 dapat menurunkan emisi gas CO sebesar 40 %. Untuk emisi gas HC penggunaan HCS dapat menurunkan emisi gas HC sebesar 37%,sedangkan untuk emisi gas buang CO2 penggunaan HCS dapat meningkatkan emisi gas CO2 sebesar 12.98%.   Motor vehicles in Indonesia which are the largest source of exhaust emissions are motorbikes. This is the lack of attention of motorized vehicle users with high engine compression ratios, which tend to choose to refuel their motorbikes with premium which is cheaper but has a low octane number. This of course will cause problems with incomplete combustion. The resulting effect is to increase air pollutants. To overcome the above problems is by using the Hydrocarbon Crack System (HCS), HCS works to improve the combustion process, so that it can reduce the levels of vehicle exhaust emissions. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of the use of the Hydrocarbon Crack System (HCS) on the performance and content of the resulting exhaust emissions. Based on the research results, it was found that the use of HCS on a Honda Supra X 125 motorcycle could reduce CO gas emissions by 40%. For HC gas emissions, the use of HCS can reduce HC gas emissions by 37%, while for CO2 exhaust emissions, the use of HCS can increase CO2 emissions by 12.98%.

An increase in fuel utilization to internal combustion engines, variation in gasoline price, reduction of the fossil fuels and natural resources, needs less carbon content in fuel to find an alternative fuel. This paper presents a comparative study of various gasoline blends in a single-cylinder two-stroke SI engine. The present experimental investigation with gasoline blends of butanol and propanol and magnesium partially stabilized zirconium (Mg-PSZ) as thermal barrier coating on piston crown of 100 µm. The samples of gasoline blends were blended with petrol in 1:4 ratios: 20 % of butanol and 80 % of gasoline; 20 % of propanol and 80 % of gasoline. In this work, the following engine characteristics of brake thermal efficiency (BTH), specific fuel consumption (SFC), HC, and CO emissions were measured for both coated and non-coated pistons. Experiments have shown that the thermal efficiency is increased by 2.2 % at P20. The specific fuel consumption is minimized by 2.2 % at P20. Exhaust emissions are minimized by 2.0 % of HC and 2.4 % of CO at B20. The results strongly indicate that the combination of thermal barrier coatings and gasoline blends can improve engine performance and reduce exhaust emissions.

Using motor vehicles, which uses fossil fuels, is connected with emissions. The main goal of cities, towns and also of the state is to keep these emissions as low as possible. Vehicles move on a traffic network where they are forced to accelerate and decelerate due to various impacts. Junctions and traffic jams are examples of these impacts. An important task is to build transport networks and junctions where vehicles can cross the junction as quickly as possible without unnecessary delay and a significant change in speed. This can contribute to lower vehicle fuel consumption and thus lower emissions.

The development of motor vehicles in Indonesia, particularly the development of two-wheel motor vehicles makes the supply of fossil fuels is increasing. The high fuel makes the fuel supply to the higher regions of Pertamina. Pertamina fuel supply in this area through a gas station (Fuel Filling Station General). This gas station into a formal point or an agent authorized to distribute fuel Pertamina to society. Criminal act of transporting fuel oil / fuel are subject to review of some aspects of the law to obtain justice. During these criminal cases haulage fuel seek of formal legal aspects applicable law, but a criminal act can not be seen from one side, but from some vantage as regional aspects and the economic aspects. The principle of legal justice that offers solutions to the public should be considered, although there is a violation of rules that apply in this transport process. Legal clash between the needs of society with Section 53 letters b and d of Republic Act number 22 of 2001 on oil and gas must have an alternative way out of sync between a solution and the rule of law.Keywords: BBM; Criminal; Justice; Law.

Sulfur dioxide is a major constituent of exhaust gas generated by diesel engines. The mainimpact of SOx (S02 and S03) contaminant is the generation of very sharp odor, the eventualoccurrence of corrosive acid rain, where as to humans such contaminants may cause irritation to eyes,skin and repiratory systems, and may prove to b~ fatal.The final produeNtf chemical reaction, H2S04 may cause corrosiveness, acid rain, and irritationto the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, and may even be fatal, therefore it is deemed necessary toinitiate control of exhaust emissions from diesel engines. One of the many methods is the use of asaturated solution of lime water (CaOH2)as absorbent to reduce the said emissions.The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity of a saturated aqueous solution of limeor Ca (OH) 2 in lowering the levels of S02 in the flue gas emission from diesel engines (mobilesources).This is a pre-experimental study using One Group Pre-PostTest Design, this study was carriedout by conducting measurements on 6 samples of diesel engine exhaust emissions where 2 (two)measurements were done before and 4 (four) samples after passing through saturated lime waterabsorbent (CaOH2). Duration of sampling ranged between 20 -25 minutes.The results indicated the average levels of SOx before passing through saturated lime water(CaOH2) was 117,355 mg/m3 and the mean level of S02 after passing through a saturated lime waterwas 79,90 mg/m3. There was a decline in the average levels of S02 at a value of 37,455 mgr/m3 orby 31,90%This study concluded, that the lime water (CaOH2)solution was able to reduce the level of S02in exhaust emissions of a diesel engines by 37,455 mgr/m3 or 31,90%.It is suggested to owners of diesel engine motor vehicles to always perform proper maintenanceof their vehicles, and citizens (especially those living on the outskirt of a highway), in order to helppreserving the environment, are expected to plant trees and various other plants that can absorbcontaminants or can be used as indicators of pollution by motor vehicle exhaust emissions. The studyalso recommended to study other kinds of pollutant gase
