Abstract
⺠Four octene isomers were tested as single component fuels in a single cylinder diesel engine. ⺠Engine tests were conducted using a novel low volume fuel system. ⺠Moving the double bond towards the centre of the molecule had a non-linear effect on ignition delay. ⺠Ignition delay of the cis isomer was shorter than the equivalent trans isomer. ⺠Emissions levels were primarily driven by duration of ignition delay.
