The paper deals with the problems of the practical application of C2 - C4 alcohols as renewable components applied in fossil diesel fuel. The application of bioethanol as extender of diesel fuel is well known. Also the problems with this application are relatively often reported. Mainly the phase separation, flash point decreasing and inappropriate cold flow properties create the barriers for wide-spreading of this motor fuel type in the Central Europe climatic zone. These problems are not so critical when higher alcohols are applied instead of ethanol. For the laboratory tests of the influence of bioethanol, 1-propanol and biobutanol on the basic characteristics of the fuel for compression ignition engines the commercially available sulphur-free diesel of winter quality without any content of FAME has been applied. The paper also brings the information concerning to impact of bioethanol and biobutanol on power output, fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust emission composition. The mentioned properties and characteristics were measured by laboratory methods and using diesel engine powered car on chassis dynamometer.
