Automotive industry is under a large pressure to keep developing automobiles with IC engines, to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions and CO2 emission. News on global climate changes, limited petroleum reserves and exhaust gas emissions do not get down the front pages of daily press. Now the world spend millions dollars to find ways to reduce CO2 emissions instead of reducing emissions of particulates and NOx emissions. Engine exhaust emissions are largely dependent on the characteristics of the engine technology. However, when engine technology emissions are reduced to lower levels, the effect of fuel properties on engine emissions become significant. Fuel quality has always had bearing on the emissions refinement, long-term stability and durability of engines and components. With the introduce of low sulfur and sulfur free diesel fuel, the effect of sulfur fuel becomes less significant. Other fuel properties such as aromatics content i.e. composition thus becomes more important. From this aspect it is investigated the effect of simultaneous addition of mono, di sup(+)- and tri sup(+)- aromatics into low-sulfur diesel fuel.
