By-Product Alcohol: Fusel Oil as an Alternative Fuel in Spark Ignition Engine

Fusel oil is a by-product obtained through the fermentation of some agricultural products. The fusel oil properties are closer to other alternative combustible types and the limited number of studies on the use of fusel oil as an alcohol derivative in SI engines constitutes to the base of this study...
