Abstract

The pursuit of performance tests that are both cost-effective and equipped with state-of-the-art technology stands as a vital objective. Among these tests, fuel consumption assessments emerge as crucial parameters in engine and vehicle evaluations. The main aim of this study is to establish a gravimetric methodology for quantifying fuel usage. The objective is to develop a methodology that is both uncomplicated and simple to use, while simultaneously ensuring the instrument's mobility. This study involves experiments on engines using B30 fuel. Recorded data is analyzed and compared with the flow meter. The research focuses on the KUBOTA D722 engine's operation without load across various RPM settings. The comparative results reveal disparities in measurement outcomes, with variations of 0,66 g/s, 0,93 g/s, and 0,31 g/s observed for engine rotation speeds of 1500, 1900, and 2200 RPM, respectively.
