Vegetable oils offer an alternative to fossil fuels used in compression ignition engines. To ensure proper engine operation, requirements are made on the quality and properties of vegetable oil fuel. While many of the requirements have already been specified in national standards, the evaluation of the ignition quality of vegetable oil fuel is open. Therefore, the ignition behavior of vegetable oil fuels is analyzed in a constant volume combustion chamber. Finally, a method is defined to evaluate their ignition quality in relation to reference fuels.
