Oil refiners desire to produce im proved motor fuel and automobile engine manufacturers endeavor to utilize most effectively the avail able gasolines. With theso objects in view, the American l'etroleum Institute of the National Automo bile chamber of commerce, through the Society of Automotive Kngi neers have been cooperating with the Bureau of Standards In u Joint research program. Tho work Is still under way, and only tho occa sional "progress reports" that tip j pear In the technical press give j hints of the achievements. I Finished pmhlems Include nn-ln-tveHtigatlon of economic fuel vola tility which determined what grade of gasoline would afford the great est mileage per barrel of crude oil. It was concluded that econ omy of petroleum resources dictat ed the use of as heavy u gasoline as possible, but that a practical limit was set by tho dilution of cmnkcase oil and the difficulty of starting with heavy fuels, especial ly In cold weather. Next came the question of crank case oil dilution. Tho research staff was able to formulate operat ing Instructions for minimixlug di lution with a, 1 given engine and fuel. . .. At present the experts under the direction of II. K. iTummlngH, tit Iff of the bureau's automotive power plants seel Ion, are studying three main problems- 'measurement of fuel, volatility, engine acceleration and measurement of ant 1-knock value. Since gasolines: are mixtures of hydrocarbons, ratlin than definite compoumlc, like benzine or alcohol they have boiling ranges rather than boiling points and are Identi fied by means of distillation curves which show the temperatures re uuired to vaporize definite amounts under specified conditions. Theso 'temperatures are nuu-h higher than from th usual distillation curv., 1 A novel uccelerometer, capable of recording the effect on eugiue speed of Individual explosions, la being used to find the relative In fluence of temperature and fuel volatility on the acceleration per formance of a typical passenger car engine. ; Although the tendency of motor fuel to knock, of vlelunule, ooacefiMu .. the motorist us much as ite vola tility, simple laboratory test (or anti-knock value has yet been die- covered. Actual engine test are 4 required at present, and the Imnie'- 3 dlato objective 1 tho development uml general adoption of a suitable f standard test equipment.
