“…The problem of combustion chamber deposits and ring sticking is more severe with vegetable oil blends than with esters. This appears to be the result of the tendency of triglycerides to polymerize within the combustion chamber (2,3). The objective of this study was to use the short term engine torque test procedure developed by Wagner and Peterson (4,5) to develop a comparative test of injector coking with vegetable oil blends.…”

Short engine tests were used to determine the rate of carbon deposition on direct injection diesel nozzles. Winter rape, high‐oleic and high‐linoleic safflower blends with 50% diesel were tested for carbon deposit and compared to that with D‐2 Diesel Control Fuel. Deposits were greatest with the most unsaturated fuel, high‐linoleic safflower, and least with winter rape. All vegetable oil blends developed power similar to diesel fueled engines with a 6 to 8% greater fuel consumption.
