Abstract
A new process to produce YXY fuel components from carbohydrates is under developmentby Avantium. YXY fuel components are furan-based mono- and diethers with good fuelblending properties and a relatively high energy density. In this paper the engine performanceof a wide range of DieseleYXY mixtures was tested using an ESC test with a 6cylinder PACCAR heavy duty engine. At all conditions tested (different blendings anddifferent steps in the ESC cycle) no difference in the engine operation was observed.
