  • Method of operating vehicle during its in-plant assembly
    Patent number: 4366780
    Abstract: In vehicle assembly plants or storage depots, newly assembled motor vehicles having spark ignition, internal combustion engines are driven under their own power between several locations separated from each other by short distances, the engine being allowed to cool in each location. Fouling of the spark plugs is reduced by using a gasoline fuel composition (e.g., 95-98 Octane) containing a small proportion (usually 0.2-10% by volume, preferably 0.4%) of a mineral oil, e.g., engine lubricating oil.
