An experimental study was carried out on DI diesel engine using gadolinium oxide nano additive to promotethe performance and emission characteristics. The experiment was also done systematically compare emission rates ofharmful gases and smoke contents of fuel mixes with various concentrations of gadolinium oxide nano additive withdiesel .The gadolinium oxide nano additive is mixed with diesel fuel in various proportions using ultrasonication method.The diesel fuel reformulated with gadolinium oxide nano additive to reduce the fuel to reduce these harmful emissionswithout affecting the physiochemical properties of fuel such as viscosity, flash and fire point. Diesel is blended withgadolinium oxide nano additive improves better combustion and also shortened ignition delay period were noticed.
