Diesel Engine is widely used than any other engine, the performance characteristics of cashew nut shell liquid into a neat diesel in a diesel engine. As a fuel play an immortal role in modern transportation system, Due to lack of petroleum product and the diminution of fossil fuel finding the alternative fuel to the society is necessary. Country like India and Africa are having larger growth in cashew product and it is abundantly available and it is inexpensive. The experiments were conducted with blends of cardanol and diesel namely B25. Break thermal efficiency of B25 is nearer to that of diesel and also emission characteristics slightly increased. The higher viscosity and lower volatility of CNSL leads to poor mixture formation and hence lower brake thermal efficiency and higher emission levels. The higher emission level can be reduced by adding suitable additives and oxygenates with CNSL and Diesel blends.
