Traditional understanding of the bio-diesel composition is the methyl- and ethyl esters from vegetable oil, whose production technology is complicated and expensive. Practitioners used their knowledge and skills and proved that pure rape seed oil can be used as engine fuel, but the engine must be adjusted. This research shows how to use rape seed oil with different additives, which improve the main characteristics of fuel- reduce kinematics viscosity and flash point temperature. As a result several efficient mixtures of rape seed oil and additives were created. They are comparable with traditional bio-diesel fuel (RME, REE), when physical, energetic, ecological parameters are compared. At the same time minor diesel engine modifications are necessary in order to use the fuel mix.
