Abstract

Nowadays people still does not fully understand about to choose the fuel to fill in their car where the questions arise what are the best fuel grade or type of fuel brands because nowadays, many of fuel brands and grades appeared in our market. The goal of this research to analyse the fuel properties, performance of engine and emission level. In this research, fuels that have been used were PETRONAS as a baseline and were compared to SHELL and PETRON fuels. For fuel properties, the test are divided by two experiment such as bomb calorimeter test and hydrometer test. Engine performance test was performed by using engine dynamometer while emission level test was conducted by using portable gas exhaust analyzer. Next, the result of the experiments will indicate the graph of comparison of fuel properties, engine performance and emission level. For fuel properties test were determine the density of fuel and energy content as a heat of combustion of fuel. Besides, the engine performance test were collected data of power, torque and brake specific fuel consumption to be analysed. This emission test were running at the same time with engine performance test. So, the composition that tested and analysed for this research are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon. After all the experiment were completely done, the result were collected and ready to be analysed. The result indicate the better performance produced between RON 95 and RON 97 fuels is RON 97. While, the comparison of RON 95 between fuels brands show PETRONAS 95 produced highest performance in term of highest value of power and torque. For RON 97, PETRONAS 97 produced the best performance between SHELL 97 and PETRON 97 also in term of power and torque produced. Further study can be carry out in detail to achieve the better result of engine performance and emission level.
