Abstract
⺠We examine engine performance on unaltered waste soybean oil-petroleum fuel blends. ⺠Fuels containing 15%, 30%, 40% and 50% waste soybean oil were created for analysis. ⺠Power and torque were analyzed on three vehicles on a chassis dynamometer. ⺠Performance for 15%, 30% and 40% WVO blends averaged 1.1% less than pure diesel. ⺠Performance for the 50% WVO blend was 5.4% lower than pure diesel.
