ABSTRACT
The paper presents an analysis of the dynamic parameters of a compact class passenger car powered by LPG/DME blends. The presented results are part of the research cycle of this vehicle, the purpose of which was to check the possibility of using DME (dimethyl ether) as an additive in the fuel mixture with LPG. In the presented part of the experimental research, the acceleration times of the vehicle under specific conditions were measured. On the basis of the obtained results, the relations between the average acceleration in the tested speed ranges, the fuel composition and the degree of engine load were developed. The results of the analyzes indicate that in the examined range of changes in the DME share in the fuel, comparable or higher acceleration values were obtained for all engine load levels. This confirms the usefulness of DME as a fuel component used to power SI engines.
