Abstract

Harsh requirements regarding the exhaust gases emission have conditioned the development of new systems in the engine, as well as the development of ecological fuels. Sulfur extraction considerably impairs the lubrication properties of diesel fuel. This has consequences in the rapid wear of the elements that constitute the fuel injection system. Additives for the improvement of lubrication properties are added with the aim of eliminating the adverse effect of fuel. The problem related to the use of those additives lies in the fact that they contain heavy aromatic solvents such as methyl naphthalene, methyl naphthalene and biphenyl which are harmful to health. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine whether there is a possibility to use biodiesel for the improvement of lubrication properties of fossil diesel with low sulfur content instead of standard additives.
