Abstract: Substitute fuels, like biodiesel, are being put to use as a non-conventional energy source and an effective substitute for the continuously reduction supply of mineral diesel as they have same combustion characteristics. However, the usage of pure biodiesel as a fuel for diesel engines is currently barred due to problems relating to fuel properties and its worst cold flow characteristics. Accordingly, the most preferable option for enhancing the properties of biodiesel is by addition of a fuel additive. In the current investigation, the properties of palm oil methyl esters with increasing additive content were studied after addition of ethanol, butanol and diethyl ether. The results bring out varying improvement in acid value, density, viscosity, pour point and cloud point, accompanied by a slight falling off in energy content with a booming additive ratio. The viscosity degradation at 5% additive were 12%, 7%, 16.5% for ethanol, butanol and diethyl ether, respectively, and the maximum falling off in pour point was 5 °C at 5% diethyl ether blend. Engine test results bring out an improvement in engine brake power and specific fuel consumption compared to palm oil biodiesel and the best performance was gained with diethyl ether. All the biodiesel-additive blend samples meet the essential of ASTM D6751 biodiesel fuel standards for the measured properties.
