Many countries are increasingly interested in finding appropriate alternative fuels that are environmentally friendly. While straight vegetable oils can be used in diesel engines, their elevated viscosities, low volatility, and bad cold flow properties have resulted in multiple derivatives being investigated. In the present work, bio-based additives were used, since they are nontoxic and have biodegradable properties. This work was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, a new bio-additive was prepared from the Mahua oil. The chemical properties of the blends were determined. In second phase, the biofuel additive (BFA) was blended with diesel in the ratios of 1.0 ml, 1.5 ml, 2.0 ml, 2.5 ml, 3.0 ml, and 4 ml for every 1 liter of diesel, the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics were determined. The 2.0 ml blend turned out to be the best BFA blend.
