Analysis of Modifications on a Spark Ignition Engine for Operation with Natural Gas

Transportation is one of the key contributors to petroleum usage and emissions to the atmosphere. According to researchers, there are many ways to use transport by using renewable energy sources. Of these solutions, the immediate solution which requires less modification to current engine technology...
