Abstracts: The conventional petroleum fuels for Internal Combustion Engines will be available for few years only , due to extremely increase in the vehicular population . Morever , this fuel causes serious environmental problems by emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere at higher rate . Generally , pollutants released by engines are CO , NOx , unburnt HC , smoke etc .This project leads to the idea of using Acetylene gas (which possesses excellent combustion properties) in the Internal Combustion Engine such that it reduces the demand of the petroleum products that is going to be extinct in near future. Pre-ignition is the major problem with this fuel . In the present study , timed manifold injection technique is adopted to inject the fuel into the IC Engines . Various fuels have been tested on IC Engines for their suitability as alternate fuels. Expect few alcohols , CNG and LPG , not many fuels have been found to be matched with IC Engines requirement . Thus , this project is an attempt for the use of an alternative resource such that it can prove to be useful for the peoples in near future .
