Fish oil may not sound like a viable alternative to diesel fuel, but tests conducted with a 6 cylinder opposed piston (OP) engine indicated it may have a place in the alternative fuel arena. In the production of fish concentrate for every 100 pounds of processed fish, aproximately 3 pounds of fish oil are produced. At certain times of the year the market for fish oil, which is used is the cosmetic industry normally, becomes saturated and the excess oil must be disposed of. This paper presents the results of combustion studies performed with fish oil and fish oil/diesel fuel blends in a medium speed, two cycle, opposed piston engine. Performance and emissions results with blends from 10 % to 100 % fish oil in diesel fuel are presented. Combustion cycle analysis data comparisons are made between fish oil and diesel fuel operation. Component inspection results and analysis of deposits found in the engine after the tests are also presented. Finally, comparisons between fish oil and other biodiesel fuels are made.
