| Abstract |
The study evaluated wear in heavy-duty highway-type engines for reduction of sulfur content of diesel fuel in the range of 0.50 weight percent to 0.05 weight percent. A literature review found that wear rates generally were reduced by decreasing fuel sulfur content. The amount of wear reduction was affected as much by operating temperature and engine load as by sulfur in the fuel. Low operating temperatures showed more wear at high sulfur levels and, therefore, more benefit for low sulfur fuels. Increasing engine load caused higher wear rates independent of sulfur content. |
