ABSTRACT

The bio-diesel was produced from non-edible oils by using bio-diesel processor and the diesel engine performance was tested on bio-diesel and bio-diesel blended with diesel. The newly developed bio-diesel processor was capable of preparing the oil esters sufficient in quantity for running the commonly used farm engines. The fuel properties of bio-diesel such as kinematic viscosity and specific gravity were found within limited of BIS standard. Operational efficiency of diesel pump set for various blends of bio-diesel were found nearer to the expected efficiency of 20 percent. Bio-diesel can be used as an alternate and non-conventional fuel to run all type of C.I. engine. Fast depletion of the fossil fuels and sometimes shortage during crisis period directs us to search for some alternative fuel which can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Thus, further increase requirement of this depleting fuel source. Many alternative fuels like biogas, methanol, ethanol and vegetable oils have been evaluated as a partial or complete substitute to diesel fuel.
