It is estimated that as much as 30% of the energy in fuel is lost in overcoming friction in vehicles, with over 10% being friction in the engine itself.
It thus stands to reason that regardless of the grade of fuel used, significant improvements in the lubricity of a fuel [...]
What can be, and is being done, to improve the fuel lubricity?
Additives have become necessary in order to improve the lubricity of fuel, which has been subjected to the processes of lowering [...]
Why the renewed and increasing interest in lubricity in fuels?
Historically, or at least into the 70's, fuels such as diesel were considered to have adequate inherent lubricity for their use [...]
Why is it important?
Lubricants prevent or at least reduce wear, which in some instances can be extremely costly to repair. Thus, the better a [...]
