This study was devoted to introducing and experimenting a new waste-derived oxygenated additive, i.e., ethylene glycol diacetate on performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with diesel/biodiesel blends. Mineral diesel and its blends with 5 and 20 vol% biodiesel were used in the engine test runs. These fuel blends were doped with ethylene glycol diacetate at three volumetric levels in the range of 1–3%. The engine was run under engine load conditions varying from idle to full load operation at a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. Overall, the most appealing results were obtained when diesel fuel dosed with 3 vol% ethylene glycol diacetate was combusted under moderate engine load conditions. This oxygenated fuel blend could result in a significant mitigation in both nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide emissions but could lead to an unfavorable increase in unburned hydrocarbon …
