The test results obtained are brake power specific fuel consumption SFC exhaust emissions anti-wear characteristics of fuel-contaminated lubricants and fuel Rancimat test characteristics. It was found that B20X fuel showed better overall performance such as improved brake power reduced exhaust emissions and shows better lube oil quality as compared to other tested fuels. The specific objective of this investigation is to improve the performance of B20 fuel using an antioxidant additive. INTRODUCTION With reference to the world energy scenario some 85 to 90 of world primary energy consumption will continue until 2030 to be based on fossil fuels DOE 2007 . However after 2015 usage of renewable energy natural gas and nuclear energy will be increased because of stringent emissions regulations and limited fossil fuel reserves. The total renewable energy demand will increase from 2 2002 to 6 2030 and .
