“…Replacing fossil diesel with biodiesel reduces engine wear as well as the accumulation of aluminum, iron, chromium, and lead in the motor oil. 5, [40][41][42][43] In addition, a number of studies from the early 1980s examined changes in motor oil viscosity using experimental bench engines. [44][45][46][47] In a 1994 study comparing fossil diesel and biodiesel (B100) in bus engine oil, it was found that biodiesel accumulated in bus motor oil to a much higher level (9.5%) than fossil diesel (2.5%) after about 10 000 km of driving.…”

Biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), is increasingly recognized as a renewable fuel. While some environmental impacts of biodiesel usage have been investigated, accumulation of organic compounds in motor oil, which can subsequently leak onto roads, has not been studied. Because studies have shown that toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) accumulate in the motor oil of engines fueled with fossil diesel or gasoline, the objective of this study was to determine if this also occurs for engines fueled with biodiesel. Here, we sampled and analyzed motor oil of a biodiesel-powered 2005 Volkswagen Passat Wagon over 3240 km of personal-use driving. Using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), we found a total of 0.5% FAMEs in the motor oil after 3240 km. We also used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and did not detect PAHs or other organic compounds not present in the initial motor oil. Using natural radiocarbon analysis, a powerful technique capable of detecting biodiesel-derived carbon that would be otherwise undetectable by gas chromatography, we found a total of 0.68% biodiesel-derived carbon after 3240 km. This is similar to the amount of FAMEs found in these samples with GC-FID, indicating that the primary source of biodiesel-derived carbon in the motor oil is FAMEs (and not PAHs or other carbonaceous species). This result suggests that used motor oil of biodiesel vehicles can be less toxic based on PAH content than vehicles fueled with fossil diesel or gasoline.

“…Concerning the particulate emissions, at low load operation, the use of FAME fuel (RME-B100) resulted in the increase of total engine out PM due to higher share of the SOF (Soluble Organic Frations), however at medium and higher load points, due to low SOF, the potential of soot reduction improves with FAME. The decrease of engine out PM with FAME is mainly due to its in-built oxygen in fuel molecular structure (14)(15)(16) . On the other hand, the benefits in PM emissions with HVO are mainly attributed to its aromatic free composition as well as its lower distillation range as compared to the petroleum diesel (14) .…”

This work represents a continuation of the earlier results published by authors on combustion and emission investigation of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil on a High Efficiency Diesel Combustion System (SAE Paper:2013-01-1677). In present work the investigations are extended to analyze the impact of HVO fuel on characteristics of Particulate Matter emissions and regeneration behavior of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The experiments were performed with pure HVO fuel, petroleum diesel and Biodiesel (RME/B100). Results suggest that activation energy of HVO soot oxidation decreased by ~ 6 KJ/mol as compared to soot from diesel fuel, leading to a decrease of DPF regeneration temperature by ~ 43 °C.

“…In the study, it is stated that more wear elements are formed in the lubricating oil of the engine used biodiesel mixed compared to diesel fuel [13]. However, in many studies, it was emphasized that less wear elements were found in the lubricating oil of the engine used biodiesel fuel and had a positive effect on engine wear of biodiesel fuels [14][15][16]. Gulzar et al [17] conducted 200-hour long-term tests to reveal the effects of biodiesel mixtures on lubricating oil and piston.…”

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that can be produced from renewable sources such as vegetable and animal fats. It is available as fuel in diesel engines. Also, biodiesel fuel is a type of environmentally friendly fuel that is non-toxic, not perishable in nature. A single cylinder, four-stroke, aircooled, direct-injection diesel engine was used in the study. In the engine is used as fuel of diesel fuel and 10%, COME (Canola Oil Methyl Ester) was added to diesel fuel. The piston rings between the engine parts are critical in term of leakage and lubrication. The fuel used affects engine performance and emissions as well as the surface structure of the piston rings. In this study, Antor 3LD510 diesel engine was run with 10% canola oil methyl ester blended fuel and the engine carried out subjected to long term 150 hours' endurance test. The engine was operated at 1500 rpm and under part load. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDX (Energy Dispersive Spectrometry) analysis of the first, second and third piston rings were performed. As a result, after the operation of the engine with both fuels, the Cr element was largely determined on the surface of the first piston ring and the structure was not disturbed. When the second piston ring surface distribution of COME10 fuel compared to diesel fuel is examined, it is seen that besides the wear elements, combustion and fuel chemistry in the engine are more effective on the surface. The surface of the third piston ring was found to be close to each other after the operating of engine.
