Abstract

V1 Booster is a fuel additive product that developed for consumers to get high quality fuel at a lower cost. This product contains 55% of Palm Olein and 45% additive formulated from R&D with the combination of nanobiotechnology from Germany. Based on the information obtained from the supplier and website, V1 Booster is functioning as a fuel saver and can improve the engine performance with less emission produced. The objectives of this experiment are to study the properties of V1 Booster and the influence of this additives on engine performance and emission release. Then, to provide a complete analysis of fuel consumption by the engine before and after using V1 Booster. The V1 Booster is tested into RON 95 and RON 97. The method used in this project is Hydrometer to measure the density, Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter to obtain energy content, engine dynamometer to analyze power, torque and brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) and Emission Gas Analyzer to measure emission level. The result shows the density is increase after added with V1 Booster. While the energy is increase after additives is added into RON 95 but decrease for RON 97. The engine test shows the V1 Booster increase the power and torque from 2000 rpm until 3000 rpm. However, after 3000 rpm, the difference after use the additives is slightly same from the baseline RON 95 and 97 and when engine travel at high speed it performance decrease compare to the baseline petrol. It same goes to brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The added of V1 Booster can reduce the fuel consumption maximum about 5% for RON 95 and 22% for RON 97. But, when travel at high engine speed the V1 Booster is not saving anymore. Therefore, the use of V1 Booster is effective for low engine speed or below 3000 rpm. After 3000 rpm until the maximum 6000 rpm of engine speed, the effectiveness of V1 Booster is starting to decrease and not fixed.
