Abstract

There is a growing requirement for engines operating on a wider range of fuels than has been necessary in the past when fuel supplies were more stable. The development of a diesel engine using a combustion system incorporating a high- energy, multi- strike spark to promote smooth combustion is reported. Results obtained with this engine using ethanol are presented to illustrate its ability to handle fuels of very low cetane number.
