Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) Haridwar Road, Mohkampur, Dehradun Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) Survey No. 102, Vetal Hill, Off Paud Road, Kothrud, Pune International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) Plot No. 26, Sector 3, IMT Manesar, Gurgaon If the additive, in the past, has already been tested by the additive supplier at any other laboratories except IIP, Dehradun, ICAT, Gurgaon and ARAI, Pune, the results may or may not be reproducible. Therefore, it is mandatory for retesting such additive for the certification by PCRA. Additive supplier shall also provide an undertaking to the testing laboratory that the additive will not cause any damage to the testing equipment and vehicle and any damage caused due to it will be borne by the additive supplier. Selected applicant will be issued a letter/ from PCRA to contact any one of the three above-mentioned testing labs for further details on the testing charges, special terms and conditions, agreement to be made, testing time needed etc. Test sample for testing and vehicle/ engine, if required, to be provided to the testing lab, as per the test protocols given in Annexures. PCRA will not be liable to provide any reason for not selecting any applicant for testing of the additive. After testing of the sample additive, the testing lab will issue the detailed test report. PCRA, however, will not be responsible for any delay for getting the test report. A copy of the test report from testing lab to be submitted to PCRA by the applicant, to obtain the PCRA certificate, which will be issued within 15 days. However, if the applicant has any objection over the received test report or if the received test report is not clear, necessary information may be sought from the testing lab for issuing the PCRA certificate. 3

9 The Additive, once tested at IIP/ICAT/ARAI, will not be considered for retesting under any circumstances. The Applicant will be required to deposit a fee of Rs at PCRA for obtaining the PCRA certificate. The Certificate shall be issued by PCRA, on the basis of testing of the additive carried out by any one of the three laboratories which could be ARAI-Pune, ICAT- Gurgaon or IIP- Dehradun. The PCRA certificate may be presented to any of the additive consuming agency, PSU Oil Marketing Compares as a proof of fuel savings observed, if any. 4

37 ADVISORY CIRCULAR 32

38 Petroleum Conservation Research Association Sanrakshan Bhavan, 10 - Bhikaiji Cama Place, New Delhi, Delhi Advisory Circular SUBJECT: STANDARDIZATION OF ADDITIVES FOR PREMIUM FUELS Date: Sept. 06, 2018 AC No: ISSUED BY: PETROLEUM CONSERVATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, NEW DELHI PURPOSE This advisory circular (AC) provides the detailed test protocol for qualifying the additives to be used for doping/blending with automotive fuels (Diesel & Petrol) for streamlining the Premium Fuels to be marketed by PSU Oil Marketing Companies. It also provides the guidance on fuel specifications and standards. This AC provides the acceptable methods, but not the only methods, that may be used additionally for evaluation/ approval of the additives for premium fuel. TEST PROTOCOL The detailed Test Protocol is given in Annexures I (a), I (b) & I (c) of PCRA recommended Guidelines on Test Procedures for evaluation of the additives offered for doping/ blending with Petro & Diesel, resulting in fuel economy and emission reduction. As per the PCRA recommended test procedure for evaluation of additive for fuel economy and emissions, the following categories of vehicles are to be used for testing, Category: 2 Wheeler/ 3 Wheeler (2-stroke/ 4-stroke S.I. Engine) Category: Gasoline Engine Driven Car Category: Diesel Engine Driven Car APPLICABILITY The guidelines provided in this document is directed to the Oil Manufacturing/Marketing Companies (OMCs), Additive Suppliers and Additive Testing Agencies/Laboratories. This document, presently is neither mandatory nor regulatory in nature and does not constitute a regulation. It describes acceptable means, but not the only means, for demonstrating compliance with the applicable regulations. If PCRA finds that by following this AC, if the offered additive does not result in 33

39 compliance with the applicable regulations, PCRA will not be bound by this AC, and may require additional substantiation as the basis for finding compliance. This document does not change, create any additional, authorize changes in, or permit deviations from existing regulatory requirements. BACKGROUND Today, the country is faced with an ever increasing demand from the consumer segment, for improved performance as well as a global desire to improve air quality. There is a wide variety of petrol/diesel engine technologies present in the market. From the traditional Multipoint Fuel Injection (PFI) to modern Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) engines and from Indirect Injection (IDI) to Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) diesel engines. Each of these present challenges and all command the ultimate in performance from the fuel. Further, drivability, fuel economy, reduced emissions, power, biofuel compatibility, engine cleanliness and reduced friction are just a few of the demands of today s gasoline and diesel driven vehicles. The diesel performance fuel additives clean and restore cleanliness in both the older IDI engine technology and the modern CRDI engines. Performance is recovered, enhancing power, acceleration and fuel economy. The gasoline performance fuel additives provide excellent performance in both traditional PFI and modern Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) engines. Therefore, carefully selected additives provide the platform to deliver all these marketing claims and more. Considering above, the technical committee of experts finalized the test protocol for standardization of additives for premium fuels. RELATED INDIAN REFERENCES/REGULATIONS/NOTIFICATIONS (LATEST) 1.
