Abstrakt: Biodiesel is one of promising alternative fuel to be implemented in Indonesia due to its abundant resources. One of issue for utilization of high ratio blends was high fuel consumption of biodiesel as it has lower heating value compared with diesel fuel. Our previous study reported that light duty vehicle fueled with 30% biodiesel (B30) had result on increase of fuel consumption at around 2 – 3%. In study, we discussed for an influence of B30 on advance heavy duty engine application. Heavy duty engine has obviously difference range of operation with light duty engine therefore it might also influence to fuel consumption. Here, we investigated an effect of B30 on heavy duty fuel consumption at various engine speed and load by referring to R49 international standard. An experiment result showed that utilization of B30 on heavy duty engine at various load and engine speed has resulted on an increase of mass fuel rate at an average of 2%. Further, the results also showed that the highest difference of fuel consumption for B30 and diesel fuel occurred at low engine speed with 75% load conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
