Abstract

Two single cylinder diesel engines with direct and indirect injection fuel systems, equipped with a dual-fuel provision, were tested burning vegetable oil-diesel fuel blends to evaluate long term durability in comparison to that of the engines burning diesel fuel. Fuels with 10 to 25% (by volume) of vegetable oils performed satisfactorily as indicated by 200-h durability tests. No fuel related part failure was detected
