Abstract
The methyl esters of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their low environmental impact
and potential as a green alternative and eco-friendly fuel for diesel engine and they would not require significant modification of
existing engine hardware. Fish Oil Methyl Ester or Fish Oil biodiesel is extracted from crude fish oil by the process called as
Transesterification. Experiment has been carried out to study various properties of FOME, such as Calorific value, Specific
gravity, Flash point, Fire point, Viscosity etc.. for different blends of FOME (ie. B0, B20, B40, B60, B80, B100) and further this
experiment includes the study of performance of 4-stroke diesel engine for various parameters such as Brake Power (BP), Brake
Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and Exhaust Gas
Temperature (EGT).
the key and foremost important step to produce the cleaner and
environmentally safe fuel from vegetable oils. Ramdas AS [2]
reported that transesterification of vegetable oil to methyl ester
reduces its molecular weight, viscosity and increases the cetane
number.
2. MATERIALS
Crude marine fish oil was procured from Blue line foods India
Pvt. Ltd which was extracted from the discarded parts of
marine fish like viscera, fins, eyes and tails etc.. known as soap
stock. The chemicals: Methanol, Orthophosphoric acid
(99.8%), Sulphuric acid (99.8%) of Sri Ganesh Fine Chemicals
and KOH (89 %) of Karnataka Fine Chemicals Ltd. are used.

simple fact that more amount of fuel was required to the engine
to generate that extra power needed to take up the additional
loading. The exhaust gas temperature was found to increase
with the increasing concentration of biodiesel in the blends.
5. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of this study, the following specific
conclusions were draw:
1. Brake specific fuel consumption for B20 is lower than
the diesel fuel and it is increased as blend ratio increase.
2
The maximum thermal efficiency for B20 (31.38%) was
higher than that of diesel. The brake thermal efficiency
obtained for B40, B60, B80 and B100 were less than that
of diesel.
3
The exhaust temperature increased as a function of the
concentration of biodiesel blend ie higher the percentage
of FOME.
4
The fuel properties of fish oil biodiesel except calorific
value, all other properties of FOME found to be higher
compared to diesel.
