| Sources of emission |
Emissions from a fuel-driven motor vehicle usually come from four sources: the fuel tank, the carburetor, the crankcase, and the exhaust system. |
| Combustion |
To reduce exhaust emissions, some devices or systems control the combustion process itself, while others treat the resulting exhaust gases. Most modern vehicles use a combination. |
| Combustion chamber design |
Combustion chamber design can affect the combustion process, and the level of emissions. Designs that increase gas flow rate and promote vaporisation, distribute fuel more evenly in the chamber. |
