This paper explores the possibility of utilizing biodiesel obtained from karanja oil by ultrasonicmethod as an alternative fuel in a diesel engine. Three different percentages of karanja biodiesel (10%, 20%, and30%) on volume basis were blending with diesel proportionality . These blending were designated as B10 B20 andB30 where the numeric value refers to the percentage of karanja biodiesel. The blends were tested as fuels in asingle cylinder, four strokes, and water cooled diesel engine. Results indicated that the biodiesel blends have higherfuel consumption than diesel and better break thermal effiency than that of diesel operation at full load. Overall, thenitric oxide (NO) and HC emissions were found to be lesser by about 4% and 20%, respectively, with the biodieselblends emulsions compared to that of diesel operation at full load. The B20 blends gave a better performanceand lower emissions compared to that of B10 and B30. It is suggested that the karanja biodiesel B20 blend can beused as a potential alternative fuel replacing 20% of petroleum diesel without any modification in current dieselengine
