Rezumat: Performance and emissions characteristics of a Diesel engine are taken away from optimum values when biodiesel is used as a fuel. In this research Ethanol fumigation at engine inlet was used to mitigate the negative effect of biodiesel properties. Five percent increase in engine efficiency relative to biodiesel was achieved with 23 percent of ethanol fumigation. Smoke opacity and carbon monoxide emission were decreased by 50% and 30% respectively. Nitrogen oxide and unburned hydrocarbon emission were increased. Five percent reduction of carbon dioxide was observed with ethanol fumigation. That was attributed to lower carbon/hydrogen ratio in ethanol as compared to biodiesel.
