Abstract

Abstract: The present tendency to use in the near future the biofuels as fuels for compression ignition engines by introducing a 5% in 2008 and till 20% in 2010 parts of biofuels in diesel fuel, necessitate to perform and realize the studies concerning the plastic molding compound materials compatibility (that are used in the manufacture of engine and fuel systems) with biofuels. The present paper present the results of an experimental study that concerning the polypropylene and biofuels used in compression ignition engines compatibility.

Key words: compatibility, biofuels, polypropylene plastic molding compound.
