AB - Rapid growth in the energy consumption has conditioned the need for  discovering the alternative energy resources which would be adapted to the  existing engine constructions and which would satisfy the additional  criteria related to the renewability, ecology, and reliability of use. The  experimental research are conducted according to the ESC (European  Stationary Cycle - Directive 1999/96/EC) 13-mode. Using biodiesel fuel  average thermal efficiency is kept at the level of the application of  conventional diesel fuel, average emission of CO is reduced by 13.6%,  average emission of NOx is increased by 27.6%, average emission of HC is  increased by 59.4%, and average particles emission is reduced by 43.2%.
