Abstract

The increasing concerns about environmental pollution and the need for sustainable transportation have driven extensive research on innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions and gasoline consumption in vehicles. This manuscript investigates the effect of silica compounds as a protective filter on carbon absorption and reducing gasoline consumption for vehicle use. Silica compounds, such as silica nanoparticles and silica-based additives, have shown promising potential in enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and protecting engine components. This study explores the mechanisms behind the interaction of silica compounds with gasoline, their impact on fuel combustion, their ability to sequester carbon particles, and their protective effects on engine components. The findings underscore the implications of incorporating silica compounds as a protective filter in vehicle fuels, contributing to reduced carbon emissions, improved fuel economy, and enhanced engine performance
