Characterization of High Blended Palm Biodiesel Fuel Properties with Chemical Additive

Palm biodiesel-diesel blended fuel feasibility at high blending ratio was investigated in this study through characterization of blend properties with additives. Diethyl ether (DEE) has been used as an oxygenated additive with the blended fuel B50 (50% biodiesel+50% diesel) at different ratios of 2%...
