Summary:

Six 100-octane and two 87-octane aviation engine fuels were tested in a modified C.F.R. variable-compression engine at 1,500, 2,000, and 2,500 rpm. The mixture temperature was raised from 50 to 300 degrees F in approximately 50 degree steps and, at each temperature, the compression ratio ratio was adjusted to give incipient knock as shown by a cathode-ray indicator. The results are presented in tabular form.
