The objective of this study was to test the performance of diesel engine using diesel B3 mixed with crude palm oil in ratios of 95 : 5,\n90 : 10, and 85 : 15, respectively, and to compare the results with diesel B3. According to the tests, they showed that the physical\nproperties of the mixed fuel in the ratio of 95 : 5 were closest to those of diesel B3. The performance of the diesel engine that used\nmixed fuels had 5ââ?¬â??17% lower torque and power than that of diesel B3.Thespecific fuel consumption of mixed fuels was 7ââ?¬â??33%higher\nthan using diesel B3. The components of gas emissions by using mixed fuel had 1.6ââ?¬â??52% fewer amount of carbon monoxide (CO),\ncarbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and oxygen (O2) than those of diesel B3. On the other hand, nitric oxide (NO) and\nnitrogen oxides (NO??) emissions when using mixed fuels were 10ââ?¬â??39% higher than diesel B3. By comparing the physical properties,\nthe performance of the engine, and the amount of gas emissions of mixed fuel, we found out that the 95 : 5 ratio by volume was a\nsuitable ratio for agricultural diesel engine (low-speed diesel engine).
