Abstract: Recently, Jatropha, a fast growing tropical plant, has caught the attention of researchers because the oil produced from Jatropha is a non-edible. However, worse emissions, when using raw Jatropha oil in diesel engines, have been reported in the literature due to its higher viscosity and lower volatility. Therefore, it is necessary to find some way to reduce the emissions of diesel engines.
