Abstract:

In the test conditions without changing the ignition advance angle and the fuel supply system, the
performance characteristics of gasoline-2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) blends and gasoline-alcohol blends were
investigated in a gasoline internal combustion engine using biomass fuel to reduce dependence on oil and impact
on environment. Tests show that the power performance of gasoline-DMF blends is superior to that of gasolinealcohol
blends. Compared with using gasoline-DMF blends with DMF mass proportion of 10%, the maximum output
torque and output power decrease by 5.2% and 11.3% when using the gasoline-alcohol blends with methanol mass
proportion of 10%; the fuel consumption rate of gasoline-DMF blendsis superior to gasoline-alcohol blends and that
of blends with DMF mass proportion of 10% is lowest at different rotate speeds. But the energy consumption rate
of gasoline-DMF blends is larger than that of gasoline-alcohol blends. Traditional legislated emissions of gasoline-
DMF blendsare less than that of gasoline-alcohol blends as a whole.

Key words: 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), gasoline-DMF blends, gasoline-alcohol blends, traditional legislated emissions
