For an energy transition of Russia towards carbon neutrality nowadays, it is essential to have an alternative motor fuel possessing physico-chemical and operational properties comparable to those of conventional petroleum-based motor fuels, and in some aspects even better. In this case, it would be possible to expand the range of motor fuels and their use in engines of ground transport equipment. Therefore, the aim of this research was the experimental evaluation of a new type of alternative motor fuel for diesel engines of ground transport equipment, based on key indicators of physico-chemical and operational properties of a biofuel composition derived from automotive gasoline and camelina oil (Camelina sativa). The results of experimental laboratory research demonstrated that the biofuel composition based on automotive gasoline and camelina oil, containing 30% to 60% of the latter, were corresponding to the requirements of the State Standard for petroleum diesel fuel in terms of density, kinematic viscosity, corrected wear scar diameter, mass fraction of water and sulfur, lower heating value, filterability and pour point temperatures, content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and total contamination. Gained results indicate the potential applicability of the observed composition as a motor fuel for transport diesel engines.
Keywords: diesel fuel, automotive gasoline, camelina oil, biofuel composition, indicators.
