AB - In this paper the effect of various vegetable oils on pollutant emissions of  biodiesel blends with gasoil in a furnace is studied experimentally. The  exhaust gas temperature and emissions of CO, NOx and SO2 are measured by an  R-type thermocouple and TESTO 350-XL gas analyzer respectively. The oil of  soybean, sunflower, canola and corn are used in transesterification process  of biodiesel. The results show that maximum of temperature, NOx emission and  SO2 emission are achieved for the combustion of sunflower methyl ester and  corn methyl ester blends with gasoil in contrast with combustion of soybean  methyl ester and canola methyl ester blends with gasoil. Also the minimum of  CO emission is reached for combustion of these fuels.
