Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study to reduce of a spark ignition engine (SI) emissions using a low cost limestone filter. The limestone filter was constructed and tested on a four cylinder, four stroke spark ignition Nissan Sunny sedan engine (1.6 L) model 2008. The limestone filter was placed in a cast iron housing through the exhaust gas passes. The concentration of pollutant emissions of hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) was measured with and without using limestone filter. The experimental results showed that the pollutant emissions were decreased dramatically after using limestone filter
