durability characteristics of current, developing and future fuels and 
lubricants in 1998 and beyond engines through (1) testing fuels 
representative of current and future diesel fuels in two different 
heavy duty diesel engine to evaluate the interaction of the fuels, the 
lubricants, the emissions control technologies and the engine 
technologies; (2) performing detailed hydrocarbon composition analyses 
of the test fuels; (3) performing lubricant studies to determine the
