A power system for a work vehicle includes an alcohol tank configured to store alcohol; a catalytic converter fluidly coupled to receive alcohol from the alcohol tank and configured to convert the alcohol into ether; and an engine including one or more piston-cylinder sets configured to selectively receive the alcohol stored in the alcohol tank and the ether converted by the catalytic converter and to combust the alcohol and the ether with air to produce mechanical power and exhaust gas.

An on-board fuel separation system includes a supply fuel tank configured to store an input fuel stream; a fuel separator fluidly coupled to the supply fuel tank and configured to separate the input fuel stream into a first fractional fuel stream and a second fractional fuel stream. The fuel separator includes a membrane that includes a plurality of pores sized based on a molecular size of one or more components of the first fractional fuel stream. The system includes a first fractional fuel tank fluidly coupled to the fuel separator to receive the first fractional fuel stream passed through the membrane and defined by a first auto-ignition characteristic value. The system includes a second fractional fuel stream coupled to the fuel separator to receive the second fractional fuel stream from the fuel separator that is defined by a second auto-ignition characteristic value that is different than the first auto-ignition characteristic value.

A delivery device for delivering a medium and for heating the medium to be delivered, having a vehicle pump, an electric motor for driving the vehicle pump and a control unit for controlling the electric motor. For heating the medium in the vehicle pump, the control unit is designed to generate a first alternating electrical current in a conductor winding of the electric motor. This first alternating electrical current induces eddy currents in a component of the delivery device, by which the medium can be heated.

A heater device of a diesel fuel filter may include a heater housing inserted into a diesel fuel filter, and a heater portion inserted into the heater housing. A plurality of flow-path regions may be formed in the heater portion such that heated fuel passes through the heater portion. Accordingly, heat is transmitted directly from a heater portion including a plurality of heat radiating plates and PTC devices, and thus fuel is rapidly heated and a fuel transfer velocity is increased so as to improve engine starting performance at low temperature, thereby improving marketability and convenience.

A gasoline gasification apparatus comprising a gasifier housing (1). An electronic control fuel inlet nozzle (2) is mounted on the gasifier housing (1). One end of the electronic control fuel inlet nozzle (2) is connected to a gasoline feed pipe (7). The other end of the electronic control fuel inlet nozzle (2) is in communication with a cavity (3) of the gasifier housing (1). An electric heating component (4) is mounted in the cavity (3). A vapor outlet (5) is provided on the cavity (3). The electric heating component (4) mounted in the cavity (3) is connected to a controllable power source (6). This gasoline gasifier apparatus sublimates injected gasoline droplets into gaseous state, thus allowing gasoline molecules to come into complete contact with oxygen, ensuring complete combustion of gasoline in an engine, and reducing emission of pollutants.
