spark-ignition

Information on smaller nonroad spark-ignition engines is on the Lawn and Garden (small gasoline equipment) page.

In spark-ignition (petrol-type) engines all gas fuels have a lot to offer, and natural gas produces the cleanest burn of the lot.

In the type of gasoline spark-ignition engines that are dominant in the United States market, fuel and air are mixed before entering the engine cylinder.

Akroyd-Stuart's heavy oil engine (compared to spark-ignition) is distinctly different from Rudolf Diesel's better-known engine where ignition is initiated through the heat of compression.

Akroyd-Stuart's compression ignition engine (as opposed to spark-ignition) was patented two years earlier than Diesel's similar engine; Diesel's patentable idea was to increase the pressure.

The term spark-ignition engine refers to internal combustion engines, usually petrol engines, where the combustion process of the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from a spark plug.

A petrol engine (known as a gasoline engine in North America) is an internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.

By the late 1930s, serious craftsmen/hobbyists were racing relatively large (1:16 - 1:18 scale) model cars powered by small internal combustion engines, originally with spark-ignition, later with glow plug engines.

This page provides regulations and guidance documents for nonroad spark-ignition (SI) engines over 19 kW (25 horsepower), including many kinds of equipment, such as forklifts, generators, and many other farm, industrial and construction applications.

The rule regulates exhaust emissions from new spark-ignition (SI) gasoline marine engines including outboard engines, personal watercraft engines and jet boat engines beginning with the 1998 model year and the rule is fully phased-in by the 2006 model year.
