In engine tests, it has been shown that increasing the ethanol amount in biodiesel fuel up to 40% leads to an increase in indicator index i of the tested diesel engine 1A41 by 2.5%. CO and NOx emissions decreased up to 10-12% for every 10% increase of ethanol amount in blend with rapeseed oil methyl esters. The influence of different levels of ethanol on CO and NOx emissions from fuel and on experimentally defined dynamics of the indicator process can show alternative improvements of the performance characteristics of the diesel engine while working on fuel mixtures.
