Biodiesel is a promising fuel which shows potential and gradually received attention as a best alternate feedstock for diesel engine. Previous investigations have shown that use of double biofuels in a diesel engine can be a promising aspect for complete elimination of diesel from compression ignition engines which will decrease our dependency on fossil fuels. The tribological performance of injection system is primarily based on the lubricity characteristics of the fuel. So, it is imperative to a more diversified research about the impact of using double biofuels in engine. In the present investigation, different biodiesel-oil blends were investigated using the ASTM D6079 by the reciprocatory friction monitor. The effect of temperature variation on lubricity characteristics was also studied. The biodiesel-oil blends shows improvement in results as compared to diesel. Biodiesel is prone to oxidation due to availability of unsaturation in their moieties. The effects of oxidation on lubricity characteristics were also studied. It was also found that the operating conditions collectively affected the lubricity characteristics of tested feedstocks.
