An experimental investigation is conducted for increasing brake thermal efficiency, reducing brake specific fuel consumption and emissions using biofuel on four stroke Ceramic Hot Surface Ignition Engine (CHSIE). A partially stabilized zirconium ceramic heater is fitted in the cylinder head and the top of the engine block is grinding to reduce 50% of the clearance volume of the engine cylinder. The relevant parameters such as brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydro Carbon (HC), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), and smoke density emissions are evaluated for the fuel blends. The ratio of tested fuel blends of diesel-ethanol-agro waste(D-E-C) are D80E15C5, D65E30C5, and D50E45C5. The n-butanol additive is added as an ignition improver. The CHSIE is operated with each fuel blend of different power output at constant engine speed of 1500rpm. The brake thermal efficiency is increased for the fuel blends of D80E15C5 to D50E45C5 by 2.9% at maximum engine power. The CO, HC, NOx, and Smoke density emissions are low levels for the fuel blend D50E45C5 and the reduced values are 0.11%, 3.1ppm, 14ppm, and 4HSU respectively, from the fuel blend D80E15C5.
