Abstract - Every day the need for the conventional fuels is
increasing as the industrialization and transportation is increasing at a faster rate. This causes the rapid decline in conventional hydrocarbon fuel’s reservoir which is forcing researchers all over the globe to go for alternatives for these hydrocarbon fuels. Different fuels like Jatropha, Pongamia, Waste cooking oil, Fish oil, Peanut oil, etc. were tested in C.I. Engines. This paper presents the comparison of Performance and emission characteristics of different types of Fish oil biodiesel extracted from discarded body parts of fish like head, tail, fins, etc. The brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency are the performance parameters and Hydrocarbon, carbon monoxides, carbon dioxides, nitrogen oxides are the emission parameter under consideration. Considerable decrease in all the emission parameters was observed except carbon dioxide emissions. Brake thermal efficiency also increases with marginal increase in brake specific fuel consumption. Overall the fish oil biodiesel has shown promising results on C.I. Engines. Key Words: C.I. Engine, Alternative fuels, Fish oil
1. INTRODUCTION Biomass resources are easily available in a bulk all over the world and can be economically, socially and environmentally capable as an alternative for the reduction and gradual substitution to the fossil fuels, promoting sustainable development [21]. Fish oil is produced in large quantity by fish-processing Industry. This by-product from industries has almost equal calorific value to the conventional diesel fuel. The world’s economy depends mainly on the energy economy. Currently fossil fuels, namely coal, petroleum and natural gas, dominate the world energy market occupying 26–27% each of total energy consumption [5]. Particularly, petroleum products take up the major share since they are mainly used in transportation and industrialization sectors. With the growth of both these sectors, the energy consumption also increased. It is estimated that by 2030, the per-capita energy consumption growth will be at a rate of 0.7% per year [5]. The enormous growth of world population, increased technical development, enhancement in the stranded of living and industrialization has led to this intricate situation in the field of energy supply and demand [13].

vegetable oils played an important role in liquid fuel supply. Since the petroleum crisis at the end of 1970s, several studies on the cracking of vegetable oils and fats have been conducted and the results indicate the technical viability to produce fuels similar to petroleum-based fuels. This energy source has the advantage of being carbon dioxide neutral in contrast to fossil fuels, but it is often challenged since it requires the use of land potentially available for food crops [21]. The above factors create need for (necessitate) developing and commercializing alternatives to fossil fuels from bio-origin. The growing awareness and interest for non conventional bio energy sources and fuels led the authors to work on it. One of such alternative energy sources is biodiesel which can be used as alternative to diesel fuels in C.I. Engine.
2. FUEL PROPERTIES The fish oil ethyl ester contains very less suspended matter and is of transparent alight yellow colour. The different properties of this biodiesel must be investigated before they are actually being used in the C.I. Engine. The fuel properties such as density, viscosity, flash point, cetane index and calorific value obtained by authors are mentioned in table -1 Table -1: Fuel properties observed by authors Author’s name Property
