Abstract
Most of Asian developing countries are facing rapid motorization and consequent severe air pollution problems. Some ASEAN countries are setting out their new automobile emission standards, that require automotive fuel quality improvement at the retail stage.
In this study, automotive fuels in Philippine and Indonesia were sampled at pumps and analyzed, and a new evaluation method of fuel quality management systems (FQMS) was developed and applied to Philippine. As a result, it was found that a considerable number of samples was incompliant with the national standards, and that the FQMS was probably not enough intensive to secure the fuel quality. The results suggest that more intensive FQMS will be needed for the new automobile emission standards.
