21、 Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method utilizes a 1985 BMW 318i vehicle equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning.This vehicle is equipped with a four-stroke cycle, four-cylinder engine having a total displacement of 1.8 L. The cylinder head isan aluminum alloy cast
22、ing and the cylinder block is cast iron.The engine features an overhead camshaft, hemispherical combustionchambers, two valves per cylinder, and electronic port fuel injection.4.2 Each test begins with a clean, rebuilt cylinder head that meets a rigid set of specifications. New, weighed intake valve
23、s areused to rebuild the cylinder head. A standard engine oil is used for each test and a new oil filter is installed. All routine vehiclemaintenance is performed in accordance with BMW Schedule I and Schedule II service lists. The test vehicles fuel system isflushed of fuel from the previous test.
24、The vehicle fuel tank is then filled with the new test fuel. The vehicle is subjected to arigorous quality control procedure to verify proper engine and overall vehicle operation. To ensure compliance to the test objective,a data logger is active at all times after the test has begun, during all mil
25、eage accumulation and soak 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 cycle is repeated to accumulate a minimum of 16 090 km (10 000 miles)16 090 km (10 000 miles) but no
26、 more than 16 250 km (10 100 16 250 km (10 100 miles).4.4 After the required mileage (see 10.4.510.4.5) has been accumulated, the cylinder head is removed from the engine anddisassembled. The valves are weighed, visually assigned merit ratings, and photographed. Operational and mechanical criteria a
27、rethen reviewed to determine if the test shall be considered valid.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test MethodIt was determined through field testing that intake valve deposits could adversely affect the driveability ofcertain automobiles.7 Southwest Research Institute and BMW of North America (BMW NA) j
28、ointly conducted testing to developthis test method to determine an unleaded automotive spark-ignition engine fuels propensity to form intake valve deposits. Thistesting concluded that if an automotive spark-ignition engine fuel could keep intake valve deposits at or below a certain averageweight pe

Minimizingintake valve deposits may be necessary to maintain vehicle d
