Growing urbanisation and rapid industrialisation is resulting in fossil - fuel depletion. Concerted efforts are underway to conserve and stretch the oil reserves because of their non-renewable nature and limited resources. Work reported is an attempt to study the extent to which ethanol can be carburetet in a direct injection (D I) diesel engine and the effects of this carburation on engine performance. Combustion studies have been carried out to analyse dual fuel engine performance. Current investigations reveal that the engine performance with ethanol carburation at higher loads is comparable to that in neat diesel mode. Engine could develop power higher than that obtainable with diesel neat as fuel together with cleaner exhaust effluents. Around 50 percent energy contribution through ethanol at full load could be provided in a D I diesel engine. Improvements due ethanol carburation are best reflected at higher loads and overloads. Ethanol carburation can profitably be employed in existing C I engines without major engine modifications and thus provide an immediate though partial solution to the growing diesel oil scarcity in developing countries.
