Abstract

Biofuels are touted as a prime source of renewable and sustainable energy in near future. Biofuels have evolved from first to fourth generation. They mainly differ in feedstock and production technologies used. Biodiesel can be readily adopted as a partial substitute for mineral diesel in developing economies. Transesterification is an appropriate and well-established method for chemical modification of vegetable oils, which produces a suitable diesel fuel alternative “Biodiesel”. Biodiesel has proved to be an engine friendly and environment friendly substitute for mineral diesel. However, increased use of biodiesel has led to need of investigating the effect of biodiesel on engine durability, lubricating oil as well as hardware compatibility. The effect of biofuels and of their blends with diesel on engine tribology is not completely understood. Use of biodiesel as replacement fuel may lead to substantial lubricating oil dilution, because biodiesel has higher boiling range than mineral diesel. Since fuel interacts with the lubrication oil in the sump via fuel dilution, it is necessary to understand the impact of biodiesel on the lubricant properties. Oil consumption in heavy-duty diesel engines lies in ranges of 0.1–0.2 % of the total fuel consumption.
