In this pilot study conducted by the Auto/Oil Air Quality Improvement Research Program, engine-out and tailpipe speciated hydrocarbon emissions were obtained for three vehicles operated over the Federal Test Procedure on two different fuels, both of which were speciated. The fates of the fuel species were traced across the engine and across the catalyst, and relationships were developed between engine-out and tailpipe hydrocarbon emissions and fuel composition. These relationships allowed separating the fuel's contribution to engine-out and tailpipe hydrocarbon emissions into two parts, unreacted fuel and partial oxidation products. Specific ozone reactivities and toxic air pollutants were analyzed for both engine-out and tailpipe emissions. Vehicle-to-vehicle, fuel-to-fuel, and bag-to-bag differences have been highlighted.
