Engines where the fuel detonates are soon called junk.


Pedant point: Diesel and Gasoline engines fall into this category. :-)

Or did you mean "detonates in the fuel tank"? :-)

It is relatively easy to keep gas under control.

It is rather hard to keep ether from detonation and pre-ignition.

Also, the smog components of engine exhaust are not a factor of the
fuel. The come from using air which contains nitrogen as the oxidizer.

The higher the combustion temperature, the more smog components you
get.

I'm assuming you are talking about orinary ether as used as an engine
starting aid.
