Abstract

The price and uncertainties in the availability of traditional fuel availability is rising continuously, hence there is renewed interest in fuels from edible and non edible oils for diesel engines. Fuels synthesized from vegetable oils, animal fats and used cooking oils are considered as renewable substitutes for fossil fuels, due to their environmental values. These fuels consist of Fatty Acid Monoalkyl Esters (FAME). Oxidation of fuels from oils gives products that degrade the quality of fuels because fatty acid derivatives are more sensitive to oxidative degradation than mineral fuels. Thus, oxidation stability is a prime factor during the storage of such fuels. The present paper is an overview of the work done by different researchers on the oxidation stability of such fuels.

Keywords
