Abstract: The results of testing the ignition properties of fuels in the form of blends of diesel oil with pyrolysis oil produced from tires, used as an additive at concentrations of 0, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20% m / m , are presented in this paper. The experiment included the preparation of distillation curves and the determination of the flash points, derived cetane number, and calculated cetane ratios. The results are related to the limits indicated in selected standards and regulations on requirements for marine- and land-based compression ignition engine fuels. The obtained results show the suitability of pyrolysis oil and the possibility of its use as an additive to fossil fuels, which fits in with the requirements of the policies currently being developed for reducing the use of fossil fuels and building a circular economy.
