Butanol or butyl alcohol can be used as a blend for IC engine, which is designed for use with gasoline without modification. Butanol can be produced from biomass (bio-butanol) as well as fossil fuels (petro-butanol). Both petro-butanol and bio-butanol have the same chemical properties. Butanol is less corrosive than ethanol and has higher energy content than ethanol and closer to that of gasoline. In comparison with ethanol, butanol is less prone to water contamination. As a result, it could be distributed using the same infrastructure used to transport gasoline. It can be used a sole fuel in SI engines, or it can be mixed with gasoline and used. There were four types of butyl alcohol, and they all have the same chemical composition, consisting four carbon atoms ten hydrogen atoms and single oxygen and have identical chemical pattern. To meet the present requirements of the automotive industry there is continuous search of improve the performance, exhaust emission, and life of the IC engines. Blending butanol with gasoline changes the properties of the fuel and alerts the engine performance and emission characteristics. This is because heat which is released at a rate because of combustion of the compressed charge in the combustion chamber gets changed with respect to change fuel properties
