ANALISIS PERFORMA FOUR STROKE DIESEL ENGINE MENGGUNAKAN XPOWER XP16000G DENGAN BAHAN BAKAR MULTI-FEEDSTOCK BIODIESEL (MINYAK KELAPA SAWIT, MINYAK JELANTAH, MINYAK KEDELAI)

Abstract

This study discusses the performance of four-stroke diesel engines using multi-feedstock biodiesel fuels based on palm oil, used cooking oil, and soybean oil. Tests were conducted with various fuel blends (B35, B40, B100) and the addition of the Xpower XP 16000G fuel quality enhancer. The main objective was to determine the effect of these combinations on power, torque, specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and mean effective pressure (BMEP) at various RPM and load levels. The test results showed that convection biodiesel using the Xpower XP 16000G auxiliary provided the most optimal overall performance. The auxiliary significantly improved efficiency, with all fuel variations from having the lowest performance to having more efficiency, especially in the convection biodiesel fuel variation with XPower XP16000G. This research supports the application of biodiesel blends as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative fuel for diesel engines.
