This synthesis will be useful to administrators, engineers, and others in the transit industry concerned with evaluation of diesel fuel and fuel additives used in transit buses. Detailed information is presented on costs, benefits, and adverse effects of available fuel additives and related products. In recent years, environmental awareness, economic pressures, and a general decline in crude oil quality have caused transit operators to seek ways to make use of fuel additives and less expensive blends. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes information on the evaluation of fuel additives and related products in terms of their effects on vehicle maintenance requirements, emissions control, fuel economy, fuel storage, and engine performance.
