19	Objective of the Course:	The purpose of this course is to teach general properties of classic (gasoline and diesel) and alternative fuels (LPG, natural gas, hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and biodiesel) and is to inform about conversion kits used to alternative fuel vehicles. Moreover, comparisons are performed in terms of economic, conversion cost, running for a long time without breakdown, engine performance (power, torque, specific fuel consumption) and pollutant emissions.
