The blends of ethyl esters of pongemia oil (Honge oil) and palm oil are prepared by blending/mixing esters directly 10-20% by volume with diesel (HSD) and the results were quite encouraging leading to 21% mileage improvement in honge oil ester diesel (HOED) 10% blend compared to palm oil ester diesel (POED) 10% blend. But both are the selective improvement blends compared to diesel. Thus HOED 10% shows 72% improvement and considerable reduction of exhaust emissions compared to 64% improvement in POED 10%. The best performance blend compared to HSD is HOED, and it has high calorific value, one of the oil derivatives leading to smooth drive of the vehicle/engine causing less wear and tear.
