Gradual depletion of world petroleum reserves and the impact of environmental pollution of increasing exhaust emissions lead to the search for a suitable alternative fuels for diesel engines. The substitution of conventional fuels (gasoline, diesel) by renewable biofuels is considered a potential way to reduce pollution and to support the sustainable development of a country. Direct use of vegetable oil and animal fat is a promising alternative to solve these problems. An exhaustive review of the experiments in this area, carried out by several researchers in last three decades, is presented here. Different problems associated with the direct use of vegetable oil and animal fat and potential solutions from both public and private sectors are discussed. Some engine manufacturers have started to launch full-warranty engines with vegetable oil as fuel. It is expected that the competitive engine market will witness more intense research, resulting in the launch of more vegetable-oil engines with full warranties. The steep rise in food prices in recent years is concerning policy-makers and has raised the old 'food vs fuel' debate. It has been concluded that vegetable oil can probably only substitute small to medium portions of petroleum-based fuel due to future severe land-usage competition from food sector. This calls for intense research initiatives into the production of suitable fuel from non-edible vegetable oil, grown in wasteland. In this regard, genetic engineering may prove to be extremely effective in developing 'designer fuel'.

“…The physico-chemical properties of Madhuca indica oil are almost comparable with diesel and Madhuca indica oil biodiesel and its diesel blendes could be potentially reduce or partially replace the diesel fuel requirement of the country. Dhinagar et al, were experimental investigated using non-edible vegetable oil with a LHR diesel engine and noticed reduced performance with lower exhaust emissions [14]. Sirivella et al, were conducted experiments using non-edible oil based Jatropha oil as an alternate fuel in direct injection diesel engine and noticed the exhaust emissions of the engine such as carbon monoxide, smoke opacity and particulate matter has emitted lower emissions when compared with petro-diesel [15] .…”

The usage of fossil fuels are rising rapidly and diminishing its reserves at the same phase. Moreover petroleum based fuels are emitting enormous toxic exhaust emissions which are perilous to the environment. This environmental pollution is causing triple impact on health of humans, plants and other living habitats. In the recent time, the plant based biodiesel are becoming a hopeful alternative renewable fuel especially with non-edible oils as feed stock, to replace the conventional diesel fuel. The present research paper aims to perform experimental evaluation of the exhaust emissions from direct injection diesel engine when madhuca indica oil methyl ester and its diesel blends used as fuel. Madhuca indica oil methyl ester (MIOME) was prepared through transesterification process using methyl alcohol and an experimental study was carried-out using a 4-stroke, single cylinder, compression ignition direct injection engine fuelled with MIOME, different blends (B20M, B40M, B60M and B100M) of MIOME and diesel fuel. The experimental tests revealed that the emission of B100M biodiesel has lower carbon monoxide (CO), particle pollution, and smoke opacity emissions when compared to diesel fuel. Biodiesels are naturally oxidized fuels and so emitting lower exhaust emissions due to its higher cetane number than diesel fuel with less or no sulphur content.
