Abstract	The rapidly increasing petroleum prices, uncertainties concerning its availability and growing concern of the environment revived research interests on the usage of alternative fuels in internal combustion engines. Biodiesel is a methyl or ethyl ester of fatty acids made from vegetable oils and animal fat. It can be used in diesel engines with very little or no engine modifications. In this present work the experimental investigations are carried out on the test engine operated with methyl esters of sesame oil and diesel blends. Comparative measures of performance parameters, smoke opacity, unburned hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), Carbon dioxide (CO2) and unused oxygen (O2) emissions are calculated. In the initial stage the tests are conducted on the four stroke single cylinder water cooled direct injection diesel engine by using diesel and base line data is generated. In the second stage, tests are carried out using Methyl esters of sesame oil with diesel blends at various loads and compared with the base line data obtained earlier. Engine performance in terms of higher brake thermal efficiency and lower brake specific fuel consumption and lower emissions (HC, CO, NOx) has observed for 20% Sesame oil and 80% diesel.
