- Abstract
By early 2023, Government of Republic of Indonesia has decided to apply a diesel fuel called B35 for petrodiesel compliment. This substance is a mixture of biodiesel and petrodiesel. The decision is made to anticipate decrease of petrodiesel reserve as well as for better environment and sustainability. Since biodiesel is produced from palm oil, ii is considered to be renewable. Biodiesel is used as an alternative liquid fuel for a diesel engine. Nevertheless, the engine is designed to utilize pure petrodiesel as fuel. Therefore, this alternative fuel must be carefully mixed and blended in order to maintain optimum performance of the engine. Objective of this research is to determine optimum composition of the mixture. Composition of both diesel fuels is altered from B0 to B50 with interval of 10 unit. Their physical properties such as density, viscosity, and flashpoint are carefully measured and calculated. The properties are compared to standard fuel of diesel engine. According to ASTM, the results of this experiment show that the optimum composition is B40.
