Biodiesel reduce harmful environment affects is less as compare to uses of diesel fuel and it's an eco-friendly fuel. The oil used for the preparation of biodiesel is CANOLA OIL (seed oil).In this research paper, oxidized canola oil biodiesel (OCOB), non-oxidized canola oil biodiesel (NCOD) and diesel fuel are taken under the consideration. Two different fuels were tested in a single cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, a constant compression ratio (CR) direct injection diesel engine developing a power of 3.7 kW, at a rated speed of 1500 rpm and various performance parameters calculated they are following specific fuel consumption (SFC), fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency ,thermal efficiency and emissions. The data obtain from the experiment compared with the diesel fuel, which tested on same parameter, and same operation condition. The COBD blended in different proportion with pure diesel and diesel consist 25% (BD25), 50% (BD50), and 100% (BD100) of bio diesel fuel and at each stage of blending load is varying The result obtain by the biodiesel indicates significant reduction in specific fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency, CO emission and unburned HC emission. And also represents increasing in thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, CO2 emission, in both cases (NOBD & OBD) on increasing the percentage of blending (BD25, BD50, BD100).The results were compared with blended NOBD and OBD at different ratio with diesel fuel. Index Terms- diesel engine, OCOB, NCOB, performance, blending, load. 1. INTRODUCT ION Diesel fuels play an important role in the development of most of the countries. These fuels play a major part in the transport sector and their consumption steadily increases. Biodiesel is defined technically as “A fuel comprised of mono -alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials D-6751”. In simple terms, biodiesel is an ecofriendly fuel manufactured from methanol/ethanol and vegetable oil, animal fats, and recycled cooking fats (U.S. Department of Energy, 2006). Biodiesel only refers to 100% pure fuel (B100) that meets the definition above and Specific standards are given by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) International (D 6751). OXIDISED BIODIESEL: Biodiesel oxidation is a very complex process that is affected by a variety of Factor including the composition of the fuel itself and the conditions of storage. The oxidative degradation during long-term storage of biodiesel occurs mainly in the presence of air, heat, light, and pro-oxidants as a result of the formation of contaminants, such as alcohols, acids, aldehydes, peroxides, etc. The degradation reaction pathways for methyl esters derived from naturally occurring fatty oils are determined by the olefinic unsaturation on the fatty acid chain.
