Today, studies have increased regarding alternative fuel blends in diesel engines. The aim of the present study is to examine the performance and emissions of waste tyre pyrolysis oil (WTPO) added to diesel fuel at different percentages in an compression-ignition (CI) engine. In the engine, tests were carried out at 1500 rpm at four different loads (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). Adding WTPO to diesel fuel increased fuel consumption, CO2, HC, and CO emissions, while reducing exhaust gas temperature. At the same load, HC emission increased by 13.3% as the ratio of pyrolysis oil in the fuel blend increased. While the exhaust gas temperature value of diesel fuel was 261oC at 25% load, this temperature dropped to 251oC for P40 fuel. When the load was 25%, the amount of CO2 emission ascended between diesel fuel and P40 fuel was 38.67%, while this increment reached 59.5% at the highest load. Based on the emission values obtained from the experiments and the literature review, it has been determined that WTPO can be used as an alternative fuel in near future when the fuel characteristics of it will enhanced.
