The article is devoted to the use of ethanol-fuel emulsion as an alternative energy carrier in tractor diesel 4CH 11,0/12,5. In the Vyatka state agricultural Academy on the basis of the Department of heat engines, cars and tractors, a diesel engine was developed to work on ethanol-fuel emulsion. The article substantiates the possibility of establishing the maximum permissible concentration of ethanol in the emulsion for this diesel, it is 25% of the total fuel and provides sufficient conditions for the organization of a stable combustion process without skipping ignition. Experimental studies of the working process of diesel when working on ethanol-fuel emulsion determined the values of the main environmental indicators.
