ABSTRACT

Domestic fuel like kerosene has become an expensive commodity today for use as fuel energy, but used Engine oil is more available than kerosine. Therefore, a mixture of used engine oil and kerosene at various ratios were subjected to an experimental test in order to determine their physical properties. This is to ascertain the viability of the mixture as domestic fuel. This paper will present some preliminary results of the ratio 1:4 mixture which indicates its efficiency over 1:5 and 1:6 ratio.
