The present study objective is to compare the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of biodiesels such as rice bran oil methyl ester (RME), polanga oil methyl ester (PME), Uppage methyl oil methyl ester (UME), karanja oil methyl ester (KME) on direct injection (DI) diesel engine. From this comparative study it is found that PME showed better performance and emissions among the tested fuels when compared with baseline data of high speed-diesel at 80% load
