Abstract
Conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel are causing serious environmental
issues due to their high amount of pollutants. A study was conducted on the use of LPG in conventional two-stroke and fourstroke
gasoline engines. The engines were tested using LPG and
gasoline so that comparisons of the emissions of pollutant gases and engine
performance can be made. The results obtained are very encouraging in the
emission aspect. The average reduction of emission gases from the LPG fuel
system are 64% for NOx, 31% for CO2 and 57% for CO for the two-stroke
engine. The four-stroke engine achieved a reduction of 41% for NOx, 11% for
CO2 and 40% for CO. On the other hand, the LPG fuel system also delivered a
comparable torque and engine efficiency as compared to gasoline. The results of
this research show the high potential of LPG as an alternative fuel for spark ignition
engines.
