TLDR
In this paper, the primary problems associated with straight soybean oil as a fuel in a compression ignition engine are due to high fuel viscosity, and transesterification provides a significant reduction in viscoverage, thereby enhancing the physical properties of the fuel to improve engine performance.Abstract:
The primary problems associated with straight soybean oil as a fuel in a compression ignition engine are due to high fuel viscosity. Transesterification provides a significant reduction in viscosity, thereby enhancing the physical properties of the fuel to improve engine performance. Methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters of sobybean oil revealed fuel properties similar to diesel fuel. Engine wear, deposits, performance, and emissions are reported for each of the ester fuel's and reference diesel fuel's 200-hour engine tests. Analysis of lubricating oil samples are also presented as well as complete fuel injection system test results.read more

The effect of biodiesel oxidation on engine performance and emissions
Abdul Monyem,Jon H. Van Gerpen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of oxidized biodiesel on engine performance and emissions was evaluated on a John Deere 4276T turbocharged DI diesel engine with three injection timings (3° advanced, standard, and 3° retarded).

The potential of restaurant waste lipids as biodiesel feedstocks.
TL;DR: Waste cooking oils, restaurant grease and animal fats are potential feedstocks for biodiesel and the level of these contaminants in feedstock samples from a rendering plant indicated that an efficient process for converting waste grease andAnimal fats must tolerate a wide range of feedstock properties.

Experimental evaluation of the transesterification of waste palm oil into biodiesel.
TL;DR: Waste palm oil was transesterified under various conditions and a 100% excess alcohol effected significant reductions in reaction time and lower gamma relative to lower excess levels, producing biodiesel with lower specific gravity, gamma, in a much shorter reaction time than lower concentrations.

Performance of compression ignition engine with mahua (Madhuca indica) biodiesel
Hifjur Raheman,S.V. Ghadge +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of biodiesel obtained from mahua oil and its blend with high speed diesel in a Ricardo E6 engine together with some of its fuel properties was presented. But the authors did not consider the effect of diesel exhaust emissions and brake specific fuel consumption.

A report on ester interchange
TL;DR: The application of the ester interchange reaction to triglycerides has been reviewed briefly in this article, and it gives promise of becoming commercially important, in which case substantial quantities of glycerine might be added to present sources of supply.
Methylesters of plant oils as diesel fuels, either straight or in blends
TL;DR: In this article, a rigorous durability bench test on straight methylester of soybean oil (MESO), 75 to 25 gasoil MESO blend, and 68-23-9 gasoil-mesO-ethanol (anhydrous) blend was conducted.
