1、Designation:D559801(Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forEvaluating Unleaded Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuelfor Electronic Port Fuel Injector Fouling1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5598;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adop
2、tion or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis test method is based on a test procedure developed by the Coordinating Re
3、search Council(CRC)and maintains as much commonality as possible with the original test.A similar test methodis described in the California Air Resource Board(CARB)report,“Test Method for Evaluating PortFuel Injector Deposits in Vehicle Engines.”Driveability problems in PFI automobiles were first re
4、ported in 1984.These driveability problemswere caused by deposits in the tips of pintle-type fuel injectors.In response to this problem,the CRCdeveloped a program to evaluate a method of testing PFI deposit-forming tendencies in gasolines.D235-h test cycle consisting of 15 min of operation at 88 kph
5、(55 mph)followed by a 45-min soakperiod was used for the program.This test cycle showed statistically significant differences indeposit-forming tendencies of the test fuels on the vehicles fuel injectors.The results of the CRCprogram are discussed in CRC Report No.565,2and SAE Paper 890213.31.Scope1
