A modified 1000-h EMA-based test was run on three Yanmar 3TN75E-S 15 kW (20 hp) diesel engines fueled with three different blends of hydrogenated soy ethyl ester (HySEE). Fuels used in the test were 100%, 50%, and 25% blends of HySEE with type 2 diesel fuel (D2). Eight-thousand one-hundred and five liters (2141 gal) of HySEE were produced for the test using the process developed at the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Idaho. The blends of HySEE performed adequately compared to diesel fuel. However, cold weather operation was a continual challenge. At each of the normal oil change intervals, oil analysis results for wear metals for the 100% HySEE engine were equal to or better than either the 25% HySEE or the 50% HySEE fueled engine. Engine injector pressure and compression was essentially unchanged for all engines over the course of the 1000 h. The engine fueled with 100% HySEE was cleaner and brighter internally than either the 25% HySEE or the 50% HySEE fueled engine. The 25% HySEE fueled engine was overfueled in the torque range according to a post injector pump test.
