  • METHOD FOR ACCELERATING FOULING OF INJECTORS IN GASOLINE DIRECT INJECTION ENGINES AND FOR EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF DEPOSIT CONTROL ADDITIVES
    Publication number: 20200271070
    Abstract: A method for fouling an injector of a gasoline direct injection engine, includes the steps of operating the direct injection engine on at least a first stationary engine mode which is defined by a pre-established engine load and a pre-established engine speed. Both the pre-established engine load and the speed are within 35% and 65% of their maximum values, this at least first stationary engine mode being characterized by high particulate matter generation. The direct injection engine is operated on the at least first engine mode for less than ten hours. A method for evaluating the fouling effect of a gasoline formulation in a gasoline direct injection engine uses the above-described fouling method.
