Also large oil reliant suppliers of such goods as plastics, heating oil and construction material would be at a loss for the necessary raw materials. Petroleum reliant power plants would be out of production and the transportation industry would have no gasoline for its vehicle. Apart from this, there is a big need for the protection of the environment. Therefore, it is important to replace the petroleum with non fossil fuels or ones that can be made to last a lot longer, such as the renewable fuels that can be used in the engines and are friendly to the environment too. This paper examines the use of diesel-soy oil mixtures and diesel-olive seed oil mixtures in a four-stroke diesel engine. For those mixtures the gas emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) are being measured and the fuel consumption is also examined.展开更多
