Abstract

In order to optimize the application of biodiesel for diesel engines, the low-temperature fluidity, pulverization and evaporation, erosion capability and invariability of diesel and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were compared and analyzed. The cold filter plugging point, solidifying point, distillation temperature, flash point, kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, gelatin content, carbon residue, sculpture content, acidity, copper corrosion and ash tests were investigated according to the specifications given in the standards of China on certified machines.
