Subject: Monthly Progress Report No. 5 for the Period February 1, through February 28, 2009; 

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

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

SwRI Project 03.14530. 

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, 25,000 miles, and at the end of the vehicle’s full-useful life (or 50,000 miles, 

whichever is greater).

2.0 PROGRESS FOR THE PERIOD FEBRUARY 1-28, 2009

2.1 Honda Accords

 The Honda Accord test vehicles underwent wide-open-throttle (WOT) performance and 

Federal Test Procedure (FTP) emissions testing with project fuels during the previous reporting 

period. As shown in Figure 1, the 2007 Honda Accord exhibited fuel enrichment during WOT 

operation and less fuel enrichment with E20 fuel. Lambda was measured with a wide-range airfuel ratio sensor installed in the exhaust system upstream of the catalytic converter. Preliminary 

Honda Accord WOT test results using E0 and E20 fuel blends with all four vehicles have been 

posted to the project ftp site.

 The four Honda Accords began their service accumulation on the SwRI Mileage 

Accumulation Dynamometers during this reporting period. Honda long-term fuel trims were 

measured and recorded at the time of the first oil change, and data are provided in Appendix A. 

Average fuel economy results for each of the Honda vehicles from service accumulation using 

the Standard Road Cycle are given in Table 2.

 Honda Accord ORHA10 currently exhibits excessive engine oil consumption at a rate of 

approximately 1 quart per 2000 miles. SwRI has begun an investigation into the cause of this 

excessive oil consumption. The investigation has included inspections for external oil leaks, 

visual inspections of the engine valve stems for oil, and cylinder compression and leak-down 

checks. A new positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve was installed, and the vehicle 

continued service accumulation for 2000 miles. The oil consumption rate still remained high. 

As a precaution, service accumulation on this vehicle has been discontinued with the approval of 

Oak Ridge. Oak Ridge has informed the CRC project steering committee of this oil consumption 

concern and requested suggestions on what to do with this vehicle.

2.2 Chevrolet Silverados 

The Chevrolet Silverado test vehicles underwent WOT open-loop performance and FTP 

emissions testing with project fuels during the current reporting period. As shown in Figure 2, 

the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado exhibited fuel enrichment during WOT operation and less fuel 

enrichment with E20 fuel. Silverado WOT test results using E0 and E20 fuel blends with all four 

vehicles have been processed and will be posted to the project ftp site following a final review.

 Following completion of emissions testing using all four project fuels, the Chevrolet 

Silverados were set up on the Mileage Accumulation Dynamometers to run the Standard Road 

Cycle. Early data from Silverado vehicle ORCS20 during the 0 to 80 mph acceleration of the 

standard road cycle is located in Appendix B. It is noted that the dynamometer road load at the 

end of the acceleration period decreased sharply because of the vehicle transmission shifts 

occurring at that time. The lambda value, as measured by the air-fuel ratio sensor installed 

upstream of the catalytic converter, indicated the engine system indeed goes to “open loop 

operation” during this acceleration in the standard road cycle. 

 It is also noted that the maximum Chevrolet Silverado catalyst bed temperatures occur 

during the 0 to 80 mph acceleration of the standard road cycle. Maximum standard road cycle 

catalyst bed temperatures were also measured on the Accords during this 0 to 80 mph 

acceleration. 

2.3 Fuel Blending 

 The E0, E10, E15, and E20 emissions test fuels for the Chevrolet Silverados and the 

Nissan Altimas have been blended. Fuel analyses of these blends are given in Appendix C. 

2.4 Vehicle Procurement 

 Southwest Research Institute took receipt of the four 2008 Nissan Altima and four 2008 

Ford Taurus test vehicles purchased at the end of the previous reporting period. Vehicle 

specifications are provided in Appendix D. The Altimas have been selected by Oak Ridge for 

testing next in this project.

2.5 Nissan Altimas 

 The four Nissan Altimas test vehicles have been named ORNA0, ORNA10, ORNA15, 

ORNA20, and will be aged on E0, E10, E15, E20, respectively. The vehicle naming convention 

for the Altimas is given in Table 4. Vehicle designations were assigned randomly. Vehicle and 

fuel identification labels have been put on each vehicle. The four Nissan Altima test vehicles are 

shown in Figure 3.
