Exploring a Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI) engine concept

Report no. 13/14: This report describes initial engineering and experimental steps to assess the potential to improve efficiency and reduce both regulated and CO2 emissions, and maintain acceptable noise performance by running gasoline in an advanced diesel engine.

An engineering paper study was carried out to analyse critical engine and fuel parameters and judge what speed/load range might be feasible for a Gasoline Compression Ignition engine concept.
