The paper is focused on analysis of unrepeatability index of selected combustion parameters in diesel engine fuelled with diesel fuel (DF) blended with ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE). Necessary tests were carried out in conditions of free acceleration process of the engine crankshaft without external load. Results showed that ETBE added to DF did not impact significantly on unrepeatability of combustion process in tested engine.
