This paper investigates the power and emissions of Kubota RT125 diesel engines using biodiesel. It derived from rubber seed oil with variable mixing ratios of B0, B5, B10 and B20, with loading modes of 50%, 80%, 100%. This research was studied at velocity of 1600 rpm, 2000 rpm and 2400 rpm (revolution per minute). Simulation results from KIVA-3V software show that when the change from diesel (B0) to biodiesel (B5, B10, B20) the engine power does not change much, the amount of soot emission decreases dramatically while NOx increase, overall B20 fuel has the most similar results to diesel.
