This paper presents the experimental results of a spark ignition engine to evaluate its performance and emissions characteristics while using conventional fuel and alternative fuel; compressed natural gas (CNG). To evaluate the performance, the engine is operated between 1500-4000 rpm, under steady state condition with wide open throttle (WOT). The emissions test was performed with various constant loads at each speed. The first experiment is did by using conventional fuel and followed by CNG. The engine performance and emissions results such as brake power, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), CO, HC and NOx from CNG were measured and compared to conventional fuel. The experiment has performed at Automotive Laboratory Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Malaysia Pahang by using in-housed developed engine test rig. From the experiment being done it is demonstrated that the potential of reducing emissions while applying CNG as fuel is obvious. However, the further study of required improving the performance of the engine. The results and analysis will be useful for the development of dedicated CNG engine in the future. The application of CNG as fuel for spark ignition engine gives the average reduction power of 25% at WOT, 45% at POT and gives the average brake power reduction of 37% at WOT and 56% at POT base from spark ignition engine. Average BSFC of CNG are near about 33% higher than gasoline for WOT and 39% higher than gasoline for POT. The average CO emission reduction is reduction is 66% at WOT and 64% at POT. The average reduction of CO2 emission at WOT while using CNG is 6% and at POT only 1%. The average reduction of HC emission at WOT is 76% and at POT is 74%. The average reduction of NOx emission at WOT is 15% and at POT is 18%. The disadvantages of CNG as fuel in spark ignition engine has reduced power 37-56%, but the advantages for environment protection CNG as fuel has reduced the exhaust gas emissions.
