Prabhanjan Kushwaha | Anshul Srivastava

Abstract: The life line of our automobile industry is its energy source petroleum products like petrol and diesel. But these are non-renewable sources of energy, it means that they will not last forever. Every drop of petroleum fuel counts, so it should be practice not to waste these precious energy sources. But since petrol is a very volatile fuel so during its use in vehicles a lot of fuel gets wasted in form of evaporative emissions. If these emissions could be checked through proper means then a lot of fuel can be saved. This research work is dedicated to the study of evaporative petrol emissions and factors on which it depends. This paper also gives a rough idea of amount of fuel gets wasted from a two wheeler fuel tank in a year.
