In the study are presented the results of co-combustion of biodiesel B100 with ethanol fuel as blend. The 1-cylinder direct injection compression ignition engine was used during the study. Tests were conducted at a constant angle of fuel injection and constant rotational speed equal to 1500 rpm. Results of thermal cycle parameters and emission characteristics are presented. On the basis of results stated that ethanol fuel fraction in blend causes the increase in peak heat release rate. With the increase in ethanol fuel fraction the ignition delay increased but combustion duration decreased. With the increase in ethanol fuel fraction in blend thermal efficiency increased as well. It also noticed almost constant emission of THC, the increase in NOx emissions and decrease emissions in CO and CO2.
