FUEL Mr. Lombardi, Selig, Moffre

Fuels  Come from Refined Crude Oil  Organic Compounds  Gasoline  Diesel  Alt Fuels

Gasoline  Aliphatic hydrocarbon.  Hydrogen and Carbon arranged in chains

Octane  8 Carbons chained together  Adds length to Gas chain  Knock deterrent - resistance of the fuel to self- igniting

Diesel  Similar to Gasoline (Carbon chain)  Much longer (more energy)

Alt. Fuels  Ethanol  LP  CNG  Bio Diesel

Ethanol  High Octane  Clean burning  American-made  Renewable fuel  $$$$ Distill  Energy Neutral

Propane Injection System  Requires another complete fuel system  average loss of 5 to 10% in miles per gallon  104 octane rating  domestically produced fuel  70 % less hydrocarbons (smog)  50 % less carbon monoxide  20 % less NOx  % less CO2

CNG  Similar to LP  Refueling Station more $$$$  40 % cheaper than Gas

BioDeisel  Mixed with Petroleum Diesel Fuel  Long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats  Made from agricultural co-products and byproducts  soybean oil  natural oils  Greases
