Abstract

The 2006 CRC Hot-Fuel-Handling Program was conducted at the General Motors Desert Proving Grounds in Mesa, Arizona, May 22 through July 8, 2006. The objective of the program was to determine the effect under hot ambient temperature conditions (over 100°F) of fuel front-end volatility and ethanol content on hot-fuel-handling driveability performance in a large group of late-model vehicles and a smaller grojp of nominal ten-year-old vehicles, all equipped with fuel injection systems. The range of fuel properties investigated in this program provided too few driveability demerits to assess the effects of fel volatility properties or ethanol content on hot-fuel-handling driveability.
