Abstract
Blending diesel fuel with 1,4 dioxane has resulted in a 25% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions during testing of a single cylinder diesel engine. This result was achieved with a 1% mass percentage blend of diesel and 1,4 dioxane, although it also caused increases in corresponding CO2, NO and NOx emissions. Hence as global concerns surrounding continued use of fossil fuels, and in particular diesel, for road transport in order to mitigate climate change and human health impacts, the ready use of additives with diesel fuel could help ease the transition to a sustainable clean and alternative fuelled vehicle future. The use of such fuel blends needs to be environmentally beneficial as well easy to deliver, ideally requiring zero engine/vehicle modifications. This paper evidences one ready mechanism to achieve notable CO reduction however has led to ongoing study to address corresponding rises in related emission products.
