Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method utilizes a 1985 BMW 318i vehicleequipped with a four-speed automatic transmission and airconditioning. This vehicle is equipped with a four-stroke c
20、ycle,four-cylinder engine having a total displacement of 1.8 L. Thecylinder head is an aluminum alloy casting and the cylinderblock is cast iron. The engine features an overhead camshaft,hemispherical combustion chambers, two valves per cylinder,and electronic port fuel injection.4.2 Each test begin
21、s with a clean, rebuilt cylinder head thatmeets a rigid set of specifications. New, weighed intake valvesare used to rebuild the cylinder head. A standard engine oil isused for each test and a new oil filter is installed. All routinevehicle maintenance is performed in accordance with BMWSchedule I a
22、nd Schedule II service lists. The test vehicles fuelsystem is flushed of fuel from the previous test. The vehiclefuel tank is then filled with the new test fuel. The vehicle issubjected to a rigorous quality control procedure to verifyproper engine and overall vehicle operation. To ensure com-plianc
23、e to the test objective, a data logger is active at all timesafter the test has begun, during all mileage accumulation andsoak time.4.3 The vehicle is operated on a cycle consisting of 10 %(based on mileage) city (part of the AMA driving schedule),20 % suburban, and 70 % highway mode per day. This c
24、ycle isrepeated to accumulate a minimum of 16 090 km (10 000miles) but no more than 16 250 km (10 100 miles).4.4 After the required mileage (see 10.4.5) has been accu-mulated, the cylinder head is removed from the engine anddisassembled. The valves are weighed, visually assigned meritratings, and ph
25、otographed. Operational and mechanical criteriaare then reviewed to determine if the test shall be consideredvalid.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test MethodIt was determined through field testingthat intake valve deposits could adversely affect the driveabil-ity of certain automobiles.7Southwest Resear
26、ch Institute andBMW of North America (BMW NA) jointly conducted testingto develop this test method to determine an unleaded automo-tive spark-ignition engine fuels propensity to form intakevalve deposits. This testing concluded that if an automotivespark-ignition engine fuel could keep intake valve
27、deposits ator below a certain average weight per valve at the end ofmileage accumulation, then that automotive spark-ignitionengine fuel could be used in the BMW vehicle-engine combi-nation for a specified period without intake valve depositscausing driveability degradation. Minimizing intake valved
28、eposits may be necessary to maintain vehicle driveability andtailpipe emissions control.5.1.1 State and Federal Legislative and RegulatoryActionLegislative activity and rulemaking primarily by Cali-fornia Air Resources Board8and the Environmental ProtectionAgency9necessitate the acceptance of a stan
29、dardized testmethod to evaluate the intake system deposit forming tendencyof an automotive spark-ignition engine fuel.5.1.2 Relevance of ResultsThe operating conditions anddesign of the engine and vehicle used in this test method arenot representative of all modern automobiles. These factorsshall be
30、 considered when interpreting test results.5.2 Test Validity:5.2.1 Procedural ComplianceThe test results are not con-sidered valid unless the test is completed in compliance with allrequirements of this test method. Deviations from the param-eter limits presented in Sections 10 and 11 will result in
31、 aninvalid test. Engineering judgment shall be applied duringconduct of the test method when assessing any anomalies toensure validity of the test results.5.2.2 Vehicle ComplianceA test is not considered validunless the vehicle met the quality control inspection require-ments as described in Section
