Aftermarket engineers have limited time to register for the SEMA Emerging Trends & Technology Network (ETTN) webinar, "Alternative Fuels," taking place on Tuesday, September 15, at 12:00 p.m. PDT/3:00 p.m. EDT.
Tailored to engineers interested in the technical considerations of designing a spark-ignition engine to run on alternative fuels, including alcohol-based fuels, CNG and propane, this session offers an opportunity to hear directly from industry experts and learn how to stay competitive in an evolving market.
During the session, attendees will hear from Greg Banish, president and owner at Calibrated Success, and Peter Treydte, powertrain and compliance specialist at Automotive Consulting Services, as they give an in-depth overview of tuning and design considerations to allow a spark-ignition engine to run on fuels other than gasoline. The session will include discussions about optimal air-fuel ratios, ignition timing, compression ratios and will touch on the pros and cons of various fuel options.
You'll learn:
- What alternative fuels are viable in a spark-ignited engine.
- Hardware considerations and tuning methods for alternative fuels.
- Compliance pathways for aftermarket conversion kits.
As consumer interest grows in alternatives to gasoline for performance, cost of operation and, in some cases, improved emissions, this session will provide valuable insights for companies developing products to meet evolving market demand.
