Which of the following performance characteristics of a S.I engine is not affected by the front end volatility of the petrol used ?

Correct answer: C. Spark plug fouling

  • A. Vapour locking
  • B. Hot starting
  • C. Spark plug fouling
  • D. All A, B & C

Explanation

Front-end volatility mainly influences vapour locking and hot starting because the most volatile components vaporise readily. Spark-plug fouling is more closely associated with heavier, less volatile fuel fractions, so it is the unaffected characteristic.
