The aim of this survey is to disclose performance of engine, chemical & physical properties and combustioncharacteristics of Jatropha biodiesel-diesel blends used in diesel engine at various load conditions. Now, biodiesels aremore important due to essentiality of substitute energy source because of fossil fuel deadlock. But it is seen that usingedible oil it would affect food chain & may lead to lack of food. Thus, Jatropha as non-edible biodiesel blended withgeneral fuel is implied for balancing the usage. Jatropha methyl esters (JMEs) can be produced from seeds of Jatropha.They are blended with diesel using different volumetric percentages for evaluating variation of fuel properties.Combustion tests are taken on single cylinder CI engine using different JMEs-diesel blends. At higher loading conditionbrake thermal efficiency is higher & brake specific fuel consumption is lower. According to different papers amount ofCO2 & NO is rising with higher loading condition and amount of O2 & CO is decreased. As per research blends of JMEsdiesel with little content by volume is useful in diesel engine without modification of engine.
