Investigation of Blended Palm Biodiesel-Diesel Fuel Properties With Oxygenated Additive

Blended biodiesel fuel is considered as an alternative to current fossil fuels in many applications, at low blending level less than 20% biodiesel. The fuel physical characteristics are among the most important parameter to determine the quality of each fuel. Though biodiesel can replace diesel sati...
