On the face of the future energy crisis, vegetable oils have come up as a promising source of fuel. They are being studied widely because of their abundant availability, renewable nature and better performance when used in engines. Many vegetable oils have been investigated in compression ignition engine by fuel modification or engine modification. The vegetable oils have very high density and viscosity, so we have used the Methanol and potassium hydroxide for Transesterification process to overcome these problems. Honge oil (Pongamia Pinnata) is non edible in environment and is accessible in large quantities in India. In diesel blends are 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of   Honge oil biodiesel with each 10 ml of additives (1,4 Dioxen) in each blends by volume basis . Out of them, we will find out which blend with additives is best for existing CI engine with improving brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and reducing emission of without modification in engine by mass and studied under various load conditions in a compression ignition (diesel) engine.
