Oksigenat Methyl Tertiary Buthyl Ether Sebagai Aditif Octane Booster Bahan Bakar Motor Bensin

Abstract

Oxygenates Methyl Tertiary Buthyl Ether (MTBE), as an alternative substance for Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL), which is used as substance to increase octane number gasoline fuel. However, need to be tested how its concentration influence about octane number, volatility fuel and engine performance. For engines with carburettor, the liquid fuel must be volatile enough to produce a combustible fuel vapour air mixture at intake temperature and to produce completely fuel vapour air mixture inside the cylinder before combustion
