Methyl Esters of Vegetable oils and Animal fats are found to be good alternative, renewable and environmental friendly fuels for C.I. engines. This paper presents the results of investigation carried out in studying the properties and behavior of methyl esters of corn seed oil, fish oil and its blends with diesel fuel in a C I Engine. Engine tests have been carried out to determine the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of the above mentioned fuels. The tests have been carried out in a 4-stroke, computerized, single cylinder, constant speed, direct injection diesel engine at different loads. The loads were varied from 0% to 100% of the maximum load in steps of 25%. The Methyl Ester blends of 10%, 20% and 30% by volume with diesel were used. The engine test parameters were recorded with the help of engine analysis software and were studied with the help of graphs. The results showed that the properties of the above mentioned oils are comparable with conventional diesel. The 20% blend performed well in running a diesel engine at a constant speed of 1500 rpm. It substantially reduced the emissions with acceptable efficiency. Hence the oils can be used as suitable additives for diesel in compression ignition engine.
