Abstract: The article presents ecological characteristics of the Sulzer 6AL20/24 marine diesel engine fueled by a blend of n-butane and marine fuel. An important issue is the selection of the composition and methods of producing this fuel blend. The problem which have to be solved during selection of n-butanol content in the fuel blend for a specific engine, is to designate optimal mixture at the desired level of toxic compounds emission and particulates (under specific working conditions). Moreover the impact on the engine operation parameters must be as small as possible. The fuel blend composition selection problem was solved by analyzing the experimental data. On this basis a neural networks model and multiple regression models were built. It enabled the study of the effects and interactions between the model input values and the output variable.
