Abstract
Today, the diesel engine is still capable of running on “biodiesel” fuel, which can be produced from a variety of renewable sources, including soyabean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, and animal fats. These sources can be obtained from agricultural f eedstocks or by recycling used oil such as cooking grease. Biodiesel is usable in it’s pure form known as “neat biodiesel” or B100. In addition, it is available in various blends with petrodiesel, the most common of which is known as B20(20 percent biodies el and 80 percent petrodiesel).it is also used in smaller percentage as a lubricating fuel additives. Copious resource of vegetable oil in India and its ease of translation to biodiesel help to save large expenses done on import of petroleum products and m onetary growth of country. Biodiesel also generates enormous rural employment and degraded lands can be restored due to plantation of oil plants which help in reducing greenhouse gasses. in this paper we discuss & compare different performance parameters o f C.I. engine with different vegetable oil as a fuel.
