Abstract

The addition of renewable fuels to gasoline, such as bio-alcohols or bio-ethers is required in order to be in compliance with current environmental directives. Nevertheless, they change fuel properties which could affect standards compliance, engine performance and air emissions. This paper studies the impact of ethanol (EtOH), isobutanol (iBtOH) or ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) on the Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP), distillation curves, density and other related gasoline properties, which belong to the group of relevant specifications that affect engine operation. The main conclusion is that the addition of ETBE or iBtOH has important advantages over EtOH in terms of energy density, air/fuel ratio, vapour pressure, renewable content and other effects; it was also found that the addition of ETBE affects equally and linearly the properties of two kinds of base gasolines as compared with other studies.
