What is it about?
The knock resistance of ethanol can be effectively used to improve the performance of the engine. Extract ethanol from E10 gasoline (containing 10% ethanol) and use it only under operating conditions where knocking is likely to occur.

Why is it important?
It uses technology to separate ethanol from mixed fuel of ethanol and gasoline on the car. In addition, it is important to set fuel management and engine specifications that effectively use ethanol containing up to 10% under high load conditions.
Perspectives
This paper is the forerunner of "Octane-on-Demand" that has become a topic in the fuel and engine technology industry. The concept of supplying fuel with an octane number that matches the operating conditions is revolutionary.
