The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of antioxidant (L-ascorbic acid)) on engine performance and emissions of a diesel engine fuelled with methyl ester of Rapeseed oil. The antioxidant is mixed in various concentrations (100-400mg) with methyl ester of Rapeseed oil. Result shows that antioxidant additive mixture (MERSO+LA300) is effective in control of NOX and HC emission of methyl ester of Rapeseed oil fuelled engine without doing any engine modification.
