Direct Utilization of Crude Oil as Fuel in U.S. Army Four-Cycle Diesel Engine, Model LDT-465-1C.

Abstract

Performance curves for the U.S. Army LDT-465-1C engine were obtained using DF-2 and crude oils of varying properties. A cyclic endurance test was run using crude oil as the fuel. The results of the crude oil fueled test were compared to test where DF-2 fuel was used. The crude oil resulted in significantly more engine wear and deposition than the DF-2. With crude oil fuel, the lubricant was severely degraded at end of test. (Author)
