Abstract

With the ever-increasing population, it has become extremely necessary to find an alternative to available fuel to increase the quantity of present fuel. One of the methods is to mix some chemicals in the present fuel to increase the quantity without damaging the vehicle and ecosystem. The best practice may be to get something from waste. Hence, Ethanol is selected as it can be extracted from sugarcane and other biomass materials. This experiment was conducted out to investigate the best additive to keep ethanol diesel blend stable to use as a fuel. The experiment was conducted in the chemistry lab of LIT College, Nagpur (Maharashtra) India. The result obtained verifies that 1% hexanol is the best additive which is stable till 216 hours. Hence can be the best additive.
