Paliwa rzepakowe. Techniczno-użytkowe możliwości stosowania w Polsce

Test results of performance characteristics of rapeseed fuels - methyl esters of rapeseed oil - and the mixtures thereof with diesel fuels have been presented. Using diesel engines, the broad variety experiments were carried out in the following conditions: engine test bench, traction, simulation tests, operation of truck, passenger car and tractors, the results were used to estimate the technical possibilities of rapeseed fuel using in Poland. Fuelling the diesel engines, in common operating conditions of vehicles and other units, provides possibility of verification of technical and ecological effectiveness resulting from using of rapeseed fuels.
