In the current investigation non-consumable Linseed oil is was utilized as alternative source for diesel engine fuel. The examination was done by utilizing diesel, linseed oil-mix and Di-ethyl carbonate as an additive at different loads from 0 kg to 16 kg. The blends arranged were B20, B40, B60, B80, B100. The fuel was by tested by performance and emission characteristics on a single chamber four stroke diesel engine. Performance parameters, for example, Brake thermal efficiency, Brake specific fuel consumption were studied and emission parameters, for example, CO, CO 2 , O 2 , NOx, and HC were estimated. The Brake thermal efficiency increments with increment in load however its lower when contrasted with diesel. The Brake specific fuel consumption likewise decreases with increment in load. The blends give somewhat lesser CO 2 at medium and most extreme load when contrasted with diesel. In any case, different emissions are greater than diesel at all loads.
