Experimental testing and fuel economy of the various used vegetable cooking oil fuelling pathways in Philippine jeepneys
An experimental investigating has been carried out to analyze the performance of an indirect compression ignition engine fueled with preheated pure used oil and 10%, 20% and 50% mix of biodiesel-diesel and 10% and 20% blends of used oil-diesel and used oil-biodiesel fuels. Power reduction impacts we...

| Summary: | An experimental investigating has been carried out to analyze the performance of an indirect compression ignition engine fueled with preheated pure used oil and 10%, 20% and 50% mix of biodiesel-diesel and 10% and 20% blends of used oil-diesel and used oil-biodiesel fuels. Power reduction impacts were evaluated vis a-vis the power-speed demand requirements of jeepneys while fuel economy was simulated using instantaneous fuel consumption modeling utilizing local jeepney drive. All the fueling options provided minimal power rating reductions. The 10% biodiesel-diesel blend provided the fuel economy comparable to diesel fuel while the 100% used oil blends exhibited the highest fuel utilization. Significant fuel economy deterioration was also observed for the oil-biodiesel blends. The other biodiesel-diesel blends and oil diesel blends exhibited slight increases in fuel consumption with reduction values higher at higher biodiesel and oil percentages, respectively. The oil-biodiesel blends and 100% used oil fuel exhibited the strongest smoke reduction potential. |
