Fuel-powered engines are operated in combination with a catalytic converter for the conversion of low octane fuel to high octane fuel which is then introduced into the engine to provide light high octane components for burning in the engine. The catalytic converter includes a catalyst chamber containing a crystalline aluminosilicate catalyst having an alpha value of at least five and preferably of the ZSM-5 or ZSM-8 type of zeolite. On passage through the catalytic converter, low octane fuel is converted to high hydrocarbon gases and introduced into the engine for burning. |
