This final report is written to compile all the progress and activities conducted since the initial stage of this final year project. The project; Investigation of multi-cylinder diesel engine performance and emission using bio-diesel fuel, had been carried out based on initial plan. This report would explain the background of the project and understanding to the significant of continuing the project. It would define the problem statement and what to be solved bythe end of this project. The identification would be crucial as it would guide where this project is heading to. The main objective of this project would be in studying the effects of using bio-diesel to runthenormal diesel engine. Theultimate goal would be decrease the dependency onthe hydrocarbon fuels and having other alternatives. The next part of thereport will state the fundamental idea of understanding theproject by explaining related information in the theory section. Understanding of how the engine works andthe fuel being used is important in assuring the completion of this project. The report also explains how this project would be carried out and what is going to be found as the result. Methodology of how this project will illustrate the basic idea how the project is going to be conducted. Some findings of done research were discussed in the report. Understanding the results will assist student in completing the project. Most of the findings are related to the understanding of the engine and familiarization to the interested parameters of engine performance and emission. May the report is beneficial as concluding this final year project and all assists and guidance are highly appreciated.
