Abstract

Biodiesel is a fuel with numerous benefits over conventional fuel. Used cooking oil hasbeen chosen as primary oil source, hexane and ethanol were chosen as solvents. There has been no published work done particularly in this area. The Blended UCO fuel is tested for Viscosity, Density & calorific value tests as per ASTM standards. Also, the blended UCO fuel is subjected for performance analysis in CI engines.
