As the fossil fuels are depleting day by day, there is a need tofind out an alternative fuel to fulfill the energy demand of theworld. Biodiesel is one of the best available sources to fulfill the energy demand of the world.In this project, the effect of injection timing and combustion of a Four stroke single cylinder (Kirloskar) diesel engine has been experimentally investigated by using Mustard oil methyl esters (further biodiesel) and regular diesel fuel. The mustard oil methyl ester was prepared from mustard oil through Transesterification process using methanol and sodium hydroxide. The flash point of biodiesel is high thus biodiesel is an extremely safe fuel to handle as compared to diesel. The calorific value of biodiesel is less than diesel fuel as it is oxygenated fuel. In the present investigation mustard oil methyl ester (MOME) as well as the blends of varying proportions of MOME(B25,B50,B75,B100) and diesel was used to run a compression ignition engine (CI).performance of engine was investigated by using two hole nozzle and standard injection timing 20.360 crank angle before top dead centre (CABTDC) (STANDARD). Significant improvements in engine performance were observed. Highest brake thermal efficiency (BTE) is obtained at injection timing of 20.360 CABTDC at maximum load. Low brake specific fuel consumption (BSFE) is obtained at a injection timing of 20.360 CABTDC at maximum load
