Four Decades of Engine-Fuel Technology Forecast Future Advances

This paper discusses the challenge and problems associated with the mutual adaptation of engines and fuels during the past 40 years. The resulting technology is a background for the more sophisticated attack required to meet a different but equal challenge in the period ahead as automotive engines become even more refined and essential machines, and operate in a more demanding environment. A large responsibility rests on the universities for understanding the problem and providing adequately equipped graduates.
