Abstract

Method to improve the combustion in a combustion engine for reducing the content of harmful components of the exhausts, whereby a liquid composition including a peroxide or a peroxo compound is supplied to the combustion chamber. The liquid composition is injected in such a way that a portion of the liquid composition passes through the outlet valve (17), when the engine goes from exhaust to intake stroke, thus causing an improved afterburning in both exhaust pipe (16) and possible catalytic equipment.
