Subject: Monthly Progress Report No. 14 for the Period November 1 through November 30, 

2009; for the program, "Catalyst Screening and Durability for Intermediate Ethanol 

Blends," UT-Battelle/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Subcontract No. 4000071456, 

CRC Project E-87-2, SwRI Projects 03.14530 and 03.15340. 

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

 The objective of this project is to help quantify emissions system durability of E15 and 

E20 on the US fleet. Specifically, this project will study the effects of ethanol blends on openloop stoichiometry and resulting catalyst and oxygen sensor temperatures. This project will also 

generate valuable data on vehicle emissions and performance. 

Vehicles selected for this study will include a wide range of manufacturers across several 

model years. Some of the vehicles that will be tested include vehicles that have been identified 

as having leaner and hotter operation on ethanol blends than on gasoline when in wide-open 

throttle (WOT) open-loop operation. Other vehicles will be tested because of their large 

numbers in the in-use vehicle fleet. New vehicles with unknown open-loop fuel control at WOT 

may also be selected. 

 In this project, SwRI will age vehicles and emission control systems operating on three 

levels of ethanol blended fuels (E10, E15, and E20) and compare emissions and vehicle 

performance to similar vehicles operating on the base gasoline (E0). Vehicle service 

accumulation and emissions testing are to be performed on multiple sets of matched vehicles. 

For each matched set, vehicles are to be aged and emissions tested on the four fuel blends (E0, 

E10, E15, and E20). Emissions testing will be performed at three added service accumulation 

levels: 0 miles (start of service accumulation), between 25,000 and 50,000 miles (mid service 

accumulation level), and at the end of the vehicle’s full-useful life (nominally 120,000 miles). 

Beginning in August 2009, selected new vehicle sets will be tested with E0, E15, and E20 fuels.

2.0 PROGRESS FOR THE PERIOD NOVEMBER 1-30, 2009 

2.1 Honda Accords and Chevrolet Silverados 

The Honda Accords and Chevrolet Silverados have completed vehicle service 

accumulation and emissions testing to 120,000 odometer miles during previous reporting 

periods. Vehicle FTP emissions test data at 0 and 50,000 test miles, and 120,000 odometer miles 

for the Accords are provided in Appendix A, Tables A1, A2, and A3, respectively. Silverado 

vehicle FTP emissions test data at 0 and 50,000 test miles, and 120,000 odometer miles is 

provided in Appendix A, Tables A4, A5, and A6, respectively. 

2.2 Nissan Altimas 

 The Nissan Altima vehicle set completed mileage accumulation to 120,000 odometer 

miles on the highest mileage vehicle. Emissions test data for the Altimas at 0 and 50,000 test 

miles are provided in Appendix A, Tables A7 and A8, respectively. Nissan Altima emissions 

testing at 120,000 odometer miles is scheduled to begin in December. 

2.3 Ford Tauruses 

 The Ford Taurus vehicle set completed service accumulation to 50,000 test miles, and 

Taurus emissions testing resumed during this reporting period. Taurus emissions data at zero 

test miles are given in Appendix A, Table A-9. Emissions data at 50,000 test miles conducted 

and processed to date are given in Table A-10. Ford Taurus vehicle set emissions testing at 

50,000 odometer miles will continue in December. Taurus set service accumulation to 

approximately 120,000 odometer miles is scheduled to begin in January. 

2.4 Dodge Caravans and Chevrolet Cobalts 

The Dodge Caravan and Chevrolet Cobalt vehicle sets began service accumulation to 

50,000 test miles this reporting period. Mileage accumulation to the interim service level on the 

Caravan and Cobalt vehicle sets is expected to continue through December and finish in January.

 Vehicle emissions test data for the Dodge Caravan vehicle set are provided in Appendix 

A, Table A-11. Emissions test data processed to date for the Cobalt vehicle set is provided in 

Appendix A, Table A-12. The Cobalt vehicle set is the first set to have three vehicles (no E10 

vehicle). 

2.5 Vehicle Procurement – 2007 Dodge Calibers, 2006 Nissan Quests, 2002 Nissan 

 Frontiers, and Other Non-Tier 2 Vehicles

Dodge Caliber, Nissan Quest, and Nissan Frontier vehicle sets were previously 

authorized for procurement. Descriptions of these vehicle sets follow: 

• 2007 Dodge Caliber, 2.0 L I-4 engine, CVT automatic transmission, EPA engine family: 

7CRXB02.4ME5

• 2006 Nissan Quest minivan, 3.5 L V-6 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission, EPA 

engine family: 6NSXT03.5G7B 

• 2002 Nissan Frontier 2WD pickup truck, 2.4 L I-4 engine, 4-speed automatic 

transmission, EPA engine family: 2NSXT02.4C4A 

 Three 2007 Dodge Calibers have been obtained by SwRI.. These vehicles have been 

checked in and have been set up for testing in the program. Specifications for the Dodge 

Calibers are provided in Appendix B. Photographs of Dodge Caliber vehicle ORCA15 are 

provided in Figures 1 and 2. 

 The three matching 2006 Nissan Quests have been identified and purchased. SwRI has 

made arrangements to have these vehicles shipped to San Antonio. Once the Quests arrive, they 

will be prepared for use in the project. 

 Southwest Research will continue with search efforts for the 2002 Nissan Frontiers. As 

vehicles are received by SwRI, they will be inspected, insured, and prepared for testing. 

 Three additional project vehicles were identified at the project review meeting attended 

by project stakeholders on November 5, 2009. The next vehicle models authorized for purchase 

are three non-Tier 2 models, namely the 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L, the 2002 Dodge Durango 4.7L, 

and the 2000 Honda Accord 2.3L. SwRI will begin procurement efforts for these vehicles 

starting January 2010. 

2.6 Wide-Open-Throttle Vehicle Acceleration and Lambda Measurement Tests

 Wide-open-throttle (WOT) vehicle acceleration tests have been performed in conjunction 

with emissions testing at each emissions test interval. Wide-open-throttle performance tests 

include recordings of data from several on-board engine operating parameters. Included are 

closed-loop continuous lambda data measured with the vehicle operating on E0 and on E20 

project test fuels. WOTs are performed following moderate vehicle operation (three UDDS 

preps) on the new test fuel in order to permit the vehicle to “learn” the new fuel prior to the 

WOT test. Data from approximately 90 WOT acceleration tests are currently posted on the 

project ftp data site. Examples of two WOT data tests from the Chevrolet Cobalt vehicle test set 

is provided in Appendix C. 

2.7 Vehicle Oil Consumption 

 Oil consumption history for the Dodge Caravan and Chevrolet Cobalt vehicle sets have 

been recorded by weight. Graphs of oil consumption versus test miles are provided in Appendix 

D. There are no concerns with vehicle oil consumption at this time.

2.8 Service Accumulation Gasoline (E0) 

The availability of commercial gasoline (project E0 durability fuel) remains the same as 

reported last month. The availability of local ethanol-free gasoline will continue to be closely 

watched for this project. All new fuel deliveries are checked for possible ethanol content prior to 

SwRI accepting fuel for the project. 

2.9 Project Review Meeting 

 Southwest Research Institute hosted a project review meeting on November 5, 2009. 

During this meeting, the next three project vehicles were identified. Meeting minutes will be 

posted on the project ftp web site. 

3.0 WORK PLANNED FOR THE NEXT REPORTING PERIOD 

Nissan Altima emissions testing at 120,000 odometer miles will begin in the next 

reporting period (December). 

Ford Taurus vehicle set emissions testing at 50,000 odometer miles will continue in 

December. Taurus vehicle set service accumulation to approximately 120,000 odometer miles is 

scheduled to begin in January. 

Mileage accumulation to the interim service level on the Caravan and Cobalt vehicle sets 

is expected to continue through December and finish in January. 

 The Nissan Quests are scheduled to be shipped to San Antonio in December. Once the 

Quests arrive, they will be prepared for use in the project. 

 Search efforts for the 2002 Nissan Frontiers will continue into the next reporting period. 

As the Frontiers are received, they will be inspected, insured, and prepared for testing. 

SwRI will begin procurement efforts for 2000 Ford Focus, the 2002 Dodge Durango, and 

the 2000 Honda Accord vehicles starting January 2010. 

SwRI will continue to monitor the current supplier of project E0 service accumulation 

fuel for the anticipated switch to the distribution of E10 road fuel. When the switch occurs, 

SwRI plans to obtain E0 fuel for the project from another source.
