The CI engine exhaust contains several hazardous components that need to be minimized. Water diesel emulsion (WDE) fuel controls the emission of such poisonous gases and helps to minimize them. WDE fuel gives several special advantages including immediate reductions in emissions from all the generations of CI engines without changing its engine hardware. For India, where most of the CI engines are more than 15 years old, WDE could contribute in the instantaneous enhancement in air quality. The characteristics which help to make water diesel emulsion technique preferable and practical option for controlling emission and enhancement in air standard are presented and discussed. The aim of this investigation is to formulate stable WDE fuel. To analyze characteristics of emission, CI engine with single cylinder is utilized which is equipped with an eddy current dynamometer, gas analyzer, and smoke meter. Three different emulsion fuels with different water content (0, 5, and 10%) were prepared with proper surfactant and their characteristics were analyzed. At all loading conditions, WDE fuel with 10% water content exhibits appreciable reduction in NOx level and smoke opacity in emission with minimum penalty in other emissions.
