Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engines Powered by Fish Oil and Diesel Blends

The worldwide fuel crises that occurred in the 1970s brought the issue of many countries’ susceptibility to oil
embargoes and shortages to the forefront of public consciousness. Blends of fish oil and diesel fuel were researched and it was found that they were technically feasible to use in vehicles. The development of alternative fuel sources received a significant amount of attention. As a direct consequence of this, the use of alternative fuels as a means of satisfying these prerequisites has attracted a lot of interest. Because of this, there has been a surgence of interest in the mixtures of fish oil and diesel, with a particular focus on its potential use as an alternative fuel in diesel engines. A lot of considerations need to be taken into account while looking into alternative fuels that could be used in diesel engines. The goal of this study is to provide a review of these difficulties, paying special attention to concerns pertaining to distribution and safety. In the experiment, different proportions and evolutions of critical qualities like flash point, fire point, viscosity and calorific value are analyzed and the results are tabulated and graphs are made, respectively. According to the findings of this investigation, the most effective ratio was found to be 80% diesel and 20% fish oil.
