INTRODUCCIÓN

Todos los motores de motocicletas y vehículos todo terreno (ATV) requieren tanto un sistema de suministro de combustible como un sistema de inducción de combustible para funcionar.
Cuando hablamos de combustible en relación con el motor de combustión interna, nos referimos a la gasolina. La gasolina, o una mezcla de gasolina y aceite en el motor de dos tiempos, es el combustible utilizado en la mayoría de las motocicletas estándar. La gasolina es una mezcla líquida volátil (que se ev***ra fácilmente), inflamable (que arde fácilmente) e hidrocarburo (compuesto químico de carbono e hidrógeno). Para que la gasolina se queme, debe haber oxígeno presente. Es posible que sepas que algunas máquinas de carreras utilizan combustibles altamente especializados.
La gasolina se extrae del petróleo crudo mediante un proceso llamado destilación fraccionada, que separa una mezcla de varios líquidos según sus diferentes puntos de ebullición. El proceso de destilación fraccionada se basa en el hecho de que cada hidrocarburo hierve o se v***riza dentro de un cierto rango de temperatura. Por lo tanto, el petróleo crudo se calienta en etapas hasta que todas las clases de hidrocarburos se han v***rizado y recogido individualmente. Luego, se mezclan aditivos con la gasolina para darle propiedades distintas. El propósito del combustible es proporcionar un rendimiento satisfactorio del motor en una amplia gama de condiciones. El combustible se clasifica mediante un método conocido como índice de octano o calificación de detonación. El índice de octano mide la capacidad de un combustible para resistir la detonación. Cuanto mayor sea el índice de octano, mayor será la resistencia del combustible a la detonación. La detonación, también conocida como golpeteo del motor, es la explosión de aire altamente comprimido y la mezcla de combustible no quemado en el cilindro. Una detonación excesiva puede causar daños catastróficos en el interior de un motor al romper un pistón o agrietar una culata. Hoy en día, los productos químicos isooctano y heptano son los principales aditivos utilizados en la gasolina para resistir la detonación.
No hay ventaja en usar gasolina con un índice de octano más alto del que el motor necesita para funcionar sin detonación. Hay factores que pueden influir en las necesidades de índice de octano de un motor de motocicleta: • Una temperatura más alta del motor y del aire favorece la detonación. • Las altitudes más elevadas desalientan la detonación. • Una mezcla de aire y combustible demasiado pobre favorece la detonación. El método de conducción de la motocicleta también afecta la detonación. Cuanto mayor sea la carga que el conductor aplique al motor, como subir una colina empinada con la máquina sobrecargada de peso, mayor será la probabilidad de que ocurra la detonación.
Diferentes factores pueden influir en las necesidades de índice de octano de un motor de motocicleta. Lo más importante es recordar usar una gasolina con un índice de octano que cumpla con los requisitos mínimos del fabricante de la motocicleta. Esta información la proporciona cada fabricante de motocicletas y se encuentra en el manual del propietario de la máquina.
Los combustibles oxigenados contienen un componente a base de oxígeno, como alcohol o éter, que contiene más oxígeno de lo normal. Agregar oxígeno al combustible ayuda a reducir las emisiones dañinas de monóxido de carbono del motor. Los dos aditivos oxigenados más populares y las cantidades máximas en las que se pueden usar de manera segura en la gasolina son: • MTBE (éter metil terciario butílico) —hasta un 15 por ciento • Alcohol de etanol (también conocido como gasohol)—hasta un 10 por ciento Nota: Se habla de que la cantidad de etanol podría aumentar

Let’s talk About fuel:

INTRODUCTION

All motorcycle and ATV engines require both a fuel delivery and fuel-induction system to operate.

When we speak of fuel in relationship to the internal-combustion engine, we are referring to gasoline. Gasoline, or a gasoline-and-oil mixture in the two-stroke engine, is the fuel used in most standard motorcycles. Gasoline is a volatile (ev***rates easily), flammable (burns easily), hydrocarbon (chemical compound of carbon and hydrogen), liquid mixture used as a fuel. Oxygen must be present for gasoline to combust (burn).
You may be aware that some racing machines use highly specialized fuels.

Gasoline is removed from crude oil by a process called fractional distillation, which is the process used to separate a mixture of several liquids, based on their different boiling points. The fractional distillation process is based on the fact that each hydrocarbon boils or v***rizes within a certain temperature range. Thus, crude oil is heated in stages until all the various hydrocarbon classes have been individually v***rized and collected, Additives are then blended with the gasoline to give it distinct properties.
The purpose of fuel is to give satisfactory engine performance over a wide range of condi-tions.
Fuel is rated by a method known as fuel octane rating or knock rating. Octane rating is the measure of a fuel's ability to resist detona-tion. The higher the octane rating, the higher the fuel's resistance to detonation.
Detonation, also known as engine knocking, is the explosion of highly compressed air and the unburnt fuel mixture in the cylinder. Excessive detonation can cause catastrophic damage to the inside of an engine by breaking a piston or cracking a cylinder head. Today, the chemicals isooctane and heptane are the main additives used in gasoline to resist detonation.

There is no advantage to using gasoline of a higher rating than what the engine needs to operate detonation free. There are factors that can influence the octane rating needs of a motorcycle engine:
• Higher engine and air temperature encourages detonation.
• Higher altitudes discourage detonation.
• An air-and-fuel mixture that is too lean encourages detonation.
The method of riding the motorcycle also affects detonation. The heavier the load the rider applies to the engine, such as riding up a steep hill with the machine overloaded with excess weight, the greater the chance that detonation will occur.

Different factors can influence the octane rating needs of a motorcycle engine. The most important thing to remember is to use a gasoline with an octane rating that meets the motorcycle manufacturer's minimum requirements. This information is provided by every motorcycle manufacturer and can be found in the machine owner's manual.

Oxygenated fuels have an oxygen-based component such as alcohol or ether that contains more oxygen than normal. Adding oxygen to fuel helps the fuel reduce harmful engine carbon monoxide emissions. The two most popular oxygenated additives and the maximum amounts in which they can safely be used in gasoline are:
• MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) —up to 15 percent
• Ethanol alcohol (also known as gasohol)—up to 10 percent
Note: There are talks that the amount of Ethanol may be increased to 15 percent in the future. This will affect the performance of both motorcycles and ATVs in a negative way. Be sure not to use any fuel with greater than 10 percent ethanol combined with it unless it is stated to safely do so by the manufacturer.

OXYGEN
Oxygen is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas that makes up about 20 percent of the air we breathe.
Oxygen in the air that is drawn into the engine has the ability to combine with gasoline to form a combustible v***r. Pure oxygen has the ability to explode if submitted to extreme compression.
Ignited oxygen produces a very high temperature and a great amount of energy. However, because engines do not receive pure oxygen, and the compression ratio used in an internal-combustion engine is too low to cause the amount of oxygen that is present to ignite on its own, a fuel mixture is combined with the intake air. The air-and-fuel mixture permits combustion to take place at a compression ratio lower than that required for pure oxygen to burn. Therefore, a combination of air (oxygen) and fuel (gasoline) is necessary to obtain the explosive characteristics required to operate an internal-combustion engine.
