The paper presents data related to the results about the fuel consumption following the testing of a commercial diesel fuel and a fuel obtained by chemical recycling of polyethylene waste, which fueled a generator powered by a single cylinder diesel engine air cooled. The experimental results showed that using synthesized polyethylene-based fuel, the consumption of fuel from polyethylene was smaller compared to the consumption when using commercial diesel fuel.
