In this study, pine oil is used an alternative fuel for petrol in gasoline engine. Results compared the performance and emission characteristics of gasoline engine with the blend of sole fuel with pine oil. The investigation was carried out in the Tata nano engine with multipoint fuel injection (MPFI) system, twin cylinder water cooled gasoline engine. The investigations were carried out by the pine oil gasoline blends varying percentage of P10%, P20%, P30% and P40%. From the results it was observed that the brake thermal efficiency increased for P20% blend by 1.64% when compared to that of sole gasoline fuel. The CO, HC, are found decrease and increase in NOx emission with the P20% of pine oil blend compared to that of gasoline sole fuel. The CO, HC are decreased by 31%, 8% respectively for the P10 blend and 17% increases of NO x emission.
