“…These vegetable oil esters contain 10-11% oxygen by weight which may enhance combustion than hydrocarbon-based diesel fuel in an engine. Its cloud point and pour point are [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] 0 Chigher than that of the diesel fuel [6,7,8]. Most fatty acids, vegetable oils and fatty acid esters, especially those with long carbon chains, all components have pure physical properties.…”

“…Palm oil contains carotenes, tocopherols and tocotrienols. Carotenes are precursors to Vitamin A while tocopherols and tocotrienols are forms of Vitamin E [7,12,21,22]. Carotenes give crude palm oil a reddish-orange hue.…”

“…Although engineers could redesign the diesel engine to run on pure vegetable oil, the biodiesel methyl esters can be blended with diesel fuel in any percentage up to 100% biodiesel. Hence, biodiesel does not require any modification to the diesel engine [11,12]. Moreover, engines operating on biodiesel do not show any abnormal wear and tear on engine components [3,11].…”

This article studies the Malaysian palm oil industry, tracing the industry from the oil palm plantations and ending to its finished products. Palm oil industry is a prominent industry in Malaysia, creating economic growth and development. For instance, the government helped roughly 90,000 low-income settlers with their families to become oil palm tree plantation owners. Furthermore, Malaysia has the industries to manufacture a variety of palm oil products that Malaysia exports. Palm oil exports comprised 13.7% of its gross domestic product. Subsequently, the exports cause a significant inflow of foreign-currency earnings. Moreover, Malaysia has the industries to produce biodiesel and fully offset its transportation diesel market with plenty of biodiesel and palm oil left over to export. Unfortunately, the Malaysian government had encountered two obstacles hindering the large-scale manufacture of palm biodiesel. First, the Malaysian government heavily subsidizes its transportation fuels, giving Malaysians the cheapest gasoline and diesel fuels in the world. Second, Malaysia has confronted import barriers from the European Union and the United States. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ruled against the palm oil biodiesel, as a renewable fuel import because its lifecycle emissions are below the 20% threshold. Furthermore, the European Union imposed tariffs on Malaysian palm biodiesel, possibly protecting its rapeseed biodiesel industry from competition.

“…Greenhouse gases effect, harmful emissions, and global warming caused environmental impact. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils and waste cooking oil [1,2,3]. Injector coking problems, oil dilution, deposits in various parts of engine were produced due to its higher viscosity [4].…”

Continuous fuel consumption increase and harmful exhaust emissions led to intensive search about alternative fuels and techniques for fuel saving. Waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel was derived from WCO by transesterification process. Biodiesel properties were within acceptable limits of ASTM standards. Biodiesel blends were prepared from diesel and WCO biodiesel in volume percentages of 10 and 20% as B10 and B20. A comparative study of performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine burning biodiesel blends under magnetic field effect. The magnetic field was mounted along the fuel line before fuel injector. The magnetic field was produced from a permanent magnet of 4000 Gauss. Influence of magnetic field on performance parameters such as specific fuel consumption, thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature and air-fuel ratio of a diesel engine was studied at different engine loads. Exhaust emissions such as CO, CO 2 , HC and NO x for a diesel engine burning biodiesel blendsB10 and B20 under the effect of magnetic field were studied. Applying the magnetic field to fuel line increased thermal efficiencies for crude diesel, waste cooking oil biodiesel blends B10 and B20 by 2, 4 and 11 %, respectively. There were decreases in CO emissions by 3, 3.5 and 4 for diesel oil and biodiesel blends B10 and B20, respectively under magnetic field. Decreases in HC emissions for diesel, B10 and B20 fuels were 6, 11 and 8%, respectively. Decreases in NOx emissions by 3, 1.5 and 2% for diesel and biodiesel blends B10 and B20, respectively were shown with the effect of fuel magnet.
