The paper presents comparative analysis of operational parameters, smoke emission and toxic components contents in exhaust gases of a compression ignition engine fuelled with fossil diesel, commercial bio-diesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and their blend. Measurements were conducted on an older generation diesel engine equipped with in-line injection pump. Engine was operated in conditions of full load rotational speed characteristic and also ESC steady-state test cycle. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analytical system provided contents of 23 exhaust gas components. In particular chosen parameters of investigated fuels (on the base of quality reports), performance and fuel consumption characteristic versus rotational speed, smoke emission (D) and content of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (THC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (S02) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in exhaust gas of the engine fuelled with investigated fuels, emission of specific hydrocarbons of the engine fuelled with investigated fuels, of non-regulated compounds measured during the research, molar mass of analyzed exhaust compounds are presented in the paper.
