Abstract: The present experimental examination was carried out to suggest a better fuel blend with an optimised dosage level of alumina nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 )—in a mixture of Fish Oil Methyl Ester (FOME) biodiesel and diesel—and injection pressure, wherein enhanced performance and reduced emissions were obtained via a diesel engine. The aluminium nanoparticles were added to the mixture in 5 mg/l steps through varying concentrations from 5 to 20 mg/L. The experimental results showed that engine performance quietly reduces with increased emission characteristics with the addition of raw FOME biodiesel compared to diesel. Furthermore, the addition of aluminium nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ) improved the performance as well as the emission characteristics of the engine. Among all the test blends, the B40D60A20 blend provided a maximum brake thermal efficiency of 30.7%, which is 15.63% superior to raw FOME and 3.90% inferior to diesel fuel. The blend also showed reduced emissions, for instance, a reduction of 48.38% in CO, 17.51% in HC, 16.52% in NOx, and 20.89% in smoke compared to diesel fuel. Lastly, it was concluded that B40D60A20 at 260 bar is the optimised fuel blend, and 20 mg/l is the recommended dose level of aluminium nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ) in the FOME–diesel mixture biodiesels in order to enhance the performance and emission parameters of a diesel engine.
