Impact of fusel oil moisture reduction on the fuel properties and combustion characteristics of SI engine fueled with gasoline-fusel oil blends

In this study, statistical analysis was used to reveal the significant relation between fuel properties and the reduction of moisture contents at a various fraction of fusel oil in the blend. In addition to this, it is also aimed to conduct a comparative study on the effect of the fuel properties on...
