In the present market level, the diesel fuel demand is slightly increased. So, the market forces are driving some alternative fuels. As in the same time to improve the operating safety and reduced cost. The aloevera oil represents a new and abundant energy source available in India. The aloevera biodiesel can be used as an alternative fuel for diesel engine. In this work, the aloevera oil is subjected to transesterification process at 65ºC temperature to produce biodiesel. This product is called as aloevera methyl ester (AVME). Experiments are conducted with blends of this biodiesel and diesel to study the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine. The brake thermal efficiency of B25 fuel blends is higher compared to other fuel blends. The specific fuel consumption of B25 fuel blends is lower compared to other fuel blends. The Hydrocarbon and Carbon monoxide emission are decreased as compared to conventional diesel fuel. But the NOX emission is increased for higher blends of biodiesel compared to diesel fuel
