Abstract: Biodiesel is a very popular renewable alternative fuel. Biodiesel utilization rate as an alternative fuel has been increasing in recent years due to availability, comparatively easier manufacturing process as well as superior fuel properties like non-sulphur content and storage safety. There are many articles related to properties of biodiesel and its effects on engine performance in the literature. However, the studies that compared various biodiesel samples in the same experimental system are scarce. Therefore, results obtained from different experimental systems cannot be definitely benchmarked to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis.
