Abstract: The effect of three kinds of fuels used to supply a diesel engine on its characteristics, fuel consumption, and emissions was studied. The fuels comprised pure diesel, a blend of diesel with 6% of methyl ester of yellow grease in the form of rapeseed oil, and a blend of diesel with methyl ester of brown grease in the form of goose fat. The chromatographic analysis was conducted for these fuels, and the results are presented. Two tests, comprising measurement of fuel consumption and engine emissions, were conducted on a vehicle with a diesel engine operating under zero load and under full load. The engine’s characteristics, including both power and torque versus speed, were determined under full engine load. The results of these tests are presented in this paper. The results indicated that the use of different methyl ester-based biodiesel blends with the same content of diesel to supply the diesel engine resulted in different fuel consumption and emissions of the engine not only in comparison to the supply of pure diesel but between biodiesels analyzed.
