Abstract
⺠Existing diesel engines can be fueled with straight vegetable oils. ⺠Vegetable oils surface tension is higher than the one of diesel fuel. ⺠Surface tension has a deep impact on the combustion of existing diesel engines. ⺠Vegetable oils surface tension is reduced to match diesel fuel values by heating. ⺠Straight vegetable oils heating temperature should be about 120 °C.
