Abstract
The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in diesel engines can be considered one of the optimum alternative solutions for reducing fuel consumption rate and exhaust gas emissions from diesel engine. CNG can ideally replace diesel fuel; 90% of the diesel was replaced by CNG, while remaining 10% was used as a pilot fuel. Biodiesel was used as a pilot fuel in this research. Methyl ester of sunflower oil was the main component of the biodiesel product. The results of the engine performance tests showed that increasing the biodiesel percentage in the pilot fuel reduce the combustion chamber peak pressure, and the exhaust engine temperature. The exhaust gas emissions CO and NOx concentrations were found to be low when biodiesel was used, however UHC was found to be higher.
