Bio-fuels have been made vital developments from past decades, in which bio-petrol plays a major role in SI engines. Developments in petrol-ethanol blends have been made to improve the efficiency of SI engine. Air preheated is supported widely in preheating of intake air. To improve efficiency and to reduce emission, air preheated is used in many systems. SI engines are used in automobiles, motor cycles, aircrafts, motorboats and portable small engine. In this work, investigations have been done in the SI engine which intakes preheated air-fuel mixture and various blends of ethanol petrol fuel is used as working fuel. Emission tests are done by exhaust gas analyzer to compare the emissions of different fuels.
