The importance of the alternative fuels is gaining importance as the design change of combustion process is very minimum or negligible. Hence it is apparent that the study of the factors which affecting the performance and the credibility of the engine as well. There are several researches undergoing to study the performance of the engines using alternative fuels. Choosing suitable alternate fuel for diesel engine may play a significant role in reducing surface wear of diesel engine components, and also in saving fuel costs. There are several researches undergoing to study the performance of the engines using alternative fuels. The comparison of the R a values is done to investigate the surface roughness of the IC Engine new components considered for the study. The duration of the test considered is 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours running of IC Engine. Blend of 70% Diesel + 30% Hippe oil has better lubrication properties exhibited as compared to diesel. The results reveal that R a value is improved significantly for the fuel blended with Hippe oil. Hence, the blending of the bio fuels not only reduces the emission, but also helps in maintaining the mechanical properties of the components of the engine.
