Modified kerosene stove for burning high percentage non edible straight vegetable oil blends

Abstract

The Earth's limited reserves of fossil fuel are a matter of global concern as these are under threat of continuous depletion due to over exploitation. However, these finite reserves are concentrated in certain region of the world and would soon get exhausted. In view of the above problems, the search for alternative fuel has become extensively important. Thus the use of non edible vegetable oil comes into focus. These alternative fuels should be renewable and eco-friendly. The main advantages of vegetable oils as fuel are ready availability, renewability, lower sulphur and aromatic content, and biodegradability.
