Abstract
The use of alternative fuels to reduce pollutant emissions in the atmosphere is an increasingly frequent trend. Thus, it becomes necessary to research the efficiency of theses mixtures in various proportions and different conditions. To diesel oil, under the legislation, are being added 3% of biodiesel. The values of specific weight and the flashpoint of the samples of commercial diesel tested, containing 2 and 3% of biodiesel, were within the established parameters set by Brazilian legislation. The values of the peroxide index for B100 biodiesel increased with light and storage time. Nevertheless, analyzing the chromatographic profile, there were no considerable changes in the chemical composition of B100 diesel under different conditions of storage. The aim of this work was examine fossil fuels in blends with biodiesel to determine their stability as well as some physical-chemical properties.Downloads
