Abstract

The dependency on fossil fuel energy in the transportation sector necessitates the search for alternative fuels. Biodiesel is one promising alternative fuel. Besides biodiesel, another alternative fuel that can be used is fuel derived from the pyrolysis process. The extensive rubber plantation and plastic waste in Indonesia present an opportunity to be utilized as raw materials for alternative fuel production. The objective of this research is to determine the potential and influence of various blends of solar fuel, rubber seed biodiesel, and pyrolysis oil from plastic waste on energy-efficient competition car engines. The comparison of fuel mixture concentrations used includes pure solar 100%, solar 60% + rubber seed biodiesel (RSB) 40%, solar 60% + RSB 30% + pyrolysis oil from plastic waste (PPO) 10%, solar 60% + RSB 20% + PPO 20%, solar 60% + RSB 10% + PPO 30%. The test results indicate that the fuel blend that closely approximates the performance of pure solar fuel is the one with a concentration of solar 60% + RSB 10% + PPO 30%. Based on the test results, it is concluded that an increase in the percentage of pyrolysis oil can enhance the overall engine performance. Meanwhile, an increase in the percentage of rubber seed biodiesel has a significant impact on reducing the values of hydrocarbons (HC) and exhaust gas opacity
