  Spark plugs may be small, but they play a crucial role in the functioning of your engine. A good quality spark plug not only improves engine performance but also contributes to better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. In this blog, we'll explore what a spark plug does, its importance, how long it lasts, and how to tell when it needs replacement. What Does a Spark Plug Do? A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder, initiating the combustion process that powers your vehicle. It generates a small but powerful spark that causes the fuel to burn, pushing the piston down and creating the energy required for engine rotation. What is the Use of a Spark Plug? Beyond simply starting your engine, spark plugs play a vital role in ensuring smooth, reliable combustion, which leads to optimal engine performance. A high-quality spark plug promotes better combustion efficiency, leading to smoother acceleration, improved fuel economy, and reduced emissions...

The new emission standard, BS-6 is right around the corner. This means as the BS-6 ready vehicles start to hit the road, the gas stations should be ready for them too. BS-6 vehicles do not run on the BS-4 fuel, instead, they need BS-6 grade fuel. Most of the pollution exiting the car exhaust is more in correlation with the fuel that is being used and a relatively small role is played by the engine. So let us discuss how this new type of fuel is different from the BS-4 grade fuel and how does it help in achieving lower emissions. One of the key differences in the BS-6 fuel is that they have a much lower amount of sulphur in them. This means there will be fewer gaseous compounds of sulphur will be escaping into the atmosphere, about five times fewer for both petrol and diesel vehicles. The newer fuel will also have a different octane number. This brings up the question, what is octane number? The octane number of gasoline provides a measure of the fuel’s ability to resist auto-ignition, ...

  The new BS-6 (Bharat Stage-6) regulation by the Indian Government is aimed to combat the ever-increasing air pollution in the country. This regulation will be applicable from April 1, 2020. The new BS-6 ready vehicles will release a significantly lower volume of harmful gases with the help of BS-6 grade fuel. Now the question that arises, is this applicable on petrol and diesel vehicles both or are their certain exceptions? The answer is yes, this norm is applicable to both diesel and petrol vehicles. One of the major changes that this new stage makes is the reduction of sulphur being used in the fuel as well as the sulfurous gases being released from the exhaust. Since these gases are pumped out from all vehicles, it will be applicable to all of them, diesel or petrol, two-wheelers or four. The permitted emission of the sulfurous particles is now 10ppm (10 parts per million). This is in line with the Euro-6 emission that is the norm in European Union (EU). A reduced sulphur trac...

BS (Bharat Stage) emission standard is the standard that is prescribed by the Indian government for the automobile manufacturers to adhere to. As per this standard, the exhaust of the vehicle can only emit certain harmful gases to a limit, in order to keep the damage done to the environment as low as possible. The list of the gases that are monitored vary with each stage of the standard and sometimes even include the amount of Oxygen from the exhaust. Currently, the BS in practice is BS-4 and its successor BS-6 is to be applicable from April 1, 2020. Beyond this final date, vehicles that are built with BS-4 compatibility will no longer be able to register. The upcoming BS-6 is substantially better than its predecessor since the BS-5 is being skipped altogether. A vital difference between BS-6 and BS-4 is that BS-6 contains five times fewer sulphur traces, which means that less amount of sulphur dioxide (SO2) which is a major pollutant. Sulphur Dioxide is not only harmful to the environ...

  Spark plug is a device which creates an artificial bolt of lightning in the combustion chamber of an engine. It transmits the high voltage electricity to ignite a spark which further fires the air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine. This spark starts the combustion process which eventually powers our cars and motorcycles. A good spark plug results in the smooth start of the engine along with the better fuel economy which eventually results in the longevity and good health of the engine. Nowadays there are different kinds of spark plugs available in the markets to choose from i.e. copper, platinum and Iridium spark plugs. Copper Spark Plug The copper spark plug is the most commonly used spark plug as it is the cheapest among the three. In copper spark plugs the outer material used is nickel-alloy which wears down easily because of the high pressure and the high heat generated in the cylinder of the engine. This wear results in the fouling of the spark plugs ...
