This paper evaluates the performance of refined palm oil (RPO) as a fuel in diesel engine. Palm oil and its blends composition like 10%&90%, 20%&80% as well as pure DIESEL(100%) were tested separately under various engine loads. Series of tests data on each type of fuel is analyzed and compared. Moreover, by increasing the percentage of RPO in blends would lead a character of higher percentage in density and viscosity. Studies revealed that the small percentage of RPO composition promises a good thermal efficiency together with the emission released. Pure palm oil may be employed in diesel engines as an alternative fuel. Engine performance and emissions were influenced by basic differences between diesel fuel and palm oils such as mass based heating values, viscosity, density and molecular oxygen content. The high viscosity of palm oil resulted in poor atomisation, carbon deposits, clogging of fuel lines and starting difficulties in low temperatures. When heated at 100 °C palm oil presented lower viscosity, better combustion and less deposits. Tests were conducted in a naturally aspirated MWM 229 direct injection four-stroke 70 kW diesel-generator fuelled with 100% palm oil. This paper evaluates the performance characteristics of refined palm oil (RPO) as a fuel to the diesel engine. Palm oil and its blends composition with 20%, 40%, 60% as well as pure palm oil (100%) and diesel were tested separately under various engine loads.
