| Summary: | The use of fossil fuels as energy sources has grown to significantly be likely to have a major
environmental impact. Reduction of world oil reserves and increasing environmental concerns have
prompted alternative is found and renewable source of energy called biodiesel. Biodiesel fuel from
vegetable oil is considered as the best candidates for diesel fuel replacement in diesel engines
because of its closer. Fuel prices are going up day by day in the world. Thus, the means and
methods have been trying for years to get fuel alternative outcomes. This study investigated the
effects of different storage periods used in quality biodiesel blends (B5, B10, B15) of waste cooking
oil and diesel fuel under low temperature and the temperature of the environment. Biodiesel
samples were stored in glass containers under indoor conditions, and outdoor conditions for 10
weeks in total. These samples were monitored on a weekly basis through the test properties. The
experimental density, viscosity, acid value, water content and flash point were discussed in detail.
Biodiesel storage at low temperatures is suitable and more advantageous because the impact on the
physical properties is minimal and beneficial to slow down the degradation of biodiesel and storage. |
