Polypropylene Fuel Utilization with Varying Additives for Motor Fuels

Abstract

This research aims to develop polypropylene fuel as an alternative fuel. With the abundance of plastic waste around us, this waste can be used as raw material for alternative fuels by the pyrolysis process. This is done by using the hydrocarbon compounds in the plastic-forming polypropylene. In fact, without further processing, the fuel has not been able to provide optimal results when used. A simple attempt to increase polypropylene fuel capability by adding additives. In this polypropylene fuel tester, a gasoline-engined motorcycle is used which is tested for performance on a dynotest. The treatment in this test is in the form of mixing polypropylene fuel with general fuels and adding selected additives, including the R30 type and octane amplifier. In the fuel testing process, a single cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine is used. The two-stroke engine has a two stroke piston combustion system duty cycle. It can be said to have a four-stroke double cycle combustion system with the same operating time. With engine repair, it can improve performance. In research, polypropylene fuel is mixed with general fuels and added with a certain volume of additives. The additive fuel is used for the consumption of a motorbike engine that is tested for performance at the dynotest. By comparing the treatment with the addition of additives to the fuel, the results of this ability are not known.
