Experimentation was conducted on a single cylinder CRDI diesel engine using neat Jatropha methyl ester witharbitrarily defined load on the engine (2.695kW) at rated speed 1550 rpm. CRDI system provides us the facility to change theinjection pressure and injection duration to commensurate with the load on the engine. In addition to the above facility, theinjection can be retarded or advanced with respect to the designed injection advance for the diesel fuel as mentioned in thespecification. In this paper, injection advance was taken up insteps of one degree viz.-220, -230and -240. The experimentalstudy reveals that the injection advancement with the use of biodiesel is not totally fruitful except in some emission cases andsmoke levels. Hence, biodiesel with one degree retardation i.e.,-220injection advance yielded better results in most of thecases of performance making it suitable for the replacement of diesel fuel with the biodiesel.
