Abstract

This paper presents the comparative testing results of a four stroke, four cylinder multi-fuel diesel engine and its 5%, 10% and 15% sunflower oil and peanut oil blends with Diesel fuel. This study aims to define the requirements for biodiesel production by the esterification process, testing its quality by determining some parameters such as density, kinematics viscosity, high heating value, cetane number, flash point, cloud pint and pour point and comparing it to Diesel fuel.
