AB - The physiochemical properties of three biofuels suitable for combustion in  automotive diesel engines were compared. Two samples represented commercial  hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) with different low-temperature properties,  one sample represented traditional biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters  -FAME). One HVO sample and FAME were blended into mineral diesel fuel to  form two series of mixed fuels. One series represented mixed fuels  containing 7, 20, 30 and 50 vol.% of HVO, the other series represented mixed  fuels containing the same amount of FAME. All pure fuels as well as all  prepared blends were then analyzed and evaluated. The composition and  properties of HVO samples are discussed in detail as well as the influence  of biocomponents on properties of mixed fuels.
