In this present work influence of hydrogen on the performance and emission characteristics of four stroke direct injection water cooleddiesel engine developing 3.7 kW at 1500 rpm operating on dual fuel mode using Honge oil methyl ester (HOME) and producer gas (PG) has been studied. Hydrogen was added to PG during suction stroke through the intake manifold at 5 lpm and 8lpm. Experimental resultsshowed that the addition of H2 to PG showed significant improvements in the combustion of PG. Hydrogenof 8 lpmaddition to PG resulted in greater brake thermal efficiency (BTE) by 3.21%, decreased carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) emissions by 15-20% while smoke and nitric oxide (NOx) emissions were found to be lesser compared to the biodiesel-PG dual fuel operation
