The reduction in vehicular exhaust emissions with high engine performance are measure concern regarding engine
design. To control exhaust emissions of internal combustion engine the governmental & environmental agencies
implemented stringent emission norms. These stringent emission norms are very difficult to achieve through advance engine technologies. Also rapid depletion of petroleum based fuels with increasing prices is measure issue now-a days. Hence the interest of researchers increases towards the development of renewable alternative fuels for I.C. engine the renewable fuels having capacity to reduce emissions than petroleum based fuel. Diethyl ether is one of the promising renewable fuels which reduce the exhaust harmful emissions with improved performance parameters. The DEE is promising alternative fuel for C.I. engine obtained from dehydration process of ethanol. Many researchers investigated the suitability of DEE as an alternative fuel for C.I. engine without any modifications with limited percentage of DEE in diesel & biodiesel. The aim of this research work is to improve the C.I. engine performance with required modifications for diesel-biodiesel-DEE blended fuel.
