The oleoresin of Canarium luzonicum (Blume) A. Gray gave an average yield of 30% essential oil upon water distillation. Fuel tests on the oil gave encouraging indications for its possible use as a liquid fuel. The heating value of the oil is not too far behind those of the heating values of foreign crude oils. Engine performance tests showed that the oil, in a blend with diesel oil in a 1:3 (oil to diesel) proportion, could run IZUSU 240 diesel motor vehicles. In this dilution, one liter of the blend covered a distance of six kilometers at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour in the road test.
