lubricating properties due to the removal of some sulfur compounds to meet the strict
emission norms. FTP and WSD are inversely related, and biodiesel fuel has the highest
FTP and lowest WSD compared to diesel due to good lubricating capability and a high
amount of oxygen content.

11.5 Scope for future study

Aegle Marmelos Correa biodiesel has poorer oxidation stability than Jatropha and Karanja
l
biodiesel, so more research could be done to improve its oxidation stability by adding a suit-
able antioxidant.
l AMC biodiesel has high percentages of unsaturated methyl ester, so there is a chance for
corrosion on engine components. Hence, the corrosion behavior of AMC biodiesel on dif-
ferent types of metal should be studied to understand its corrosive behavior.
l Thermal characteristics of AMC biodiesel can be studied using thermogravimetric analysis
to understand the ignition quality of biodiesel.
