The aim of this experiment was to enhance the performance of a four stroke single cylinder diesel engine by using oxygenated fuel additive with different concentration in diesel which is a base fuel. The oxygenated fuel additive consists of oxygen concentration which allows better combustion and controls the emission from diesel engine. It also enhances the performance of the engine because it mainly depends on combustion process. The fuel additive used in the experiment is diethyl ether. DEE was mixed in diesel in different proportion as 2%, 6%, 10%, 13%, 15% . Experiment was performed on single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. The result showed a significant improvement in fuel consumption, CO, HC emissions and smoke density as well.
