Abstract: Biofuel is a renewable, non-toxic and ecofriendly alternative fuel becoming promising for compression ignition (CI) engines. After reviewing various biofuels used in the CI engines, it was noticed that biofuels show a considerable impact on the efficiency and controlling the pollutants released from the CI engines. Fuel modification is the best technique to enhance the performance of the engine and to control the exhaust pollutants compared to other strategies. Recently, the usage of nanoparticles dispersed fuels is found to be a viable strategy to improve the properties of fuel, engine efficiency and to reduce the engine exhaust emissions. In this paper, a brief review on the effect of nano-additives in fuel on engine efficiency is presented. Preparation methods of nanoparticles dispersed fuels and future perspectives are also discussed.
