| Description |
Smoky emissions from two-stroke gasoline engines (2T) are a problem for the environment. Use of
vegetable oil (oxygenate) is one solution. A biodegradable 2T-oil was developed from castor oil, which
consisted of tolyl monoesters and performance additives but no miscibility-solvent. Evaluation revealed
that on one hand it reduced smoke by 50–70% at 1% oil fuel ratio and on the other hand it was at par with
standard product specification. Starting problems, piston-seizer or any other driving problems were not
observed during the test. There is excellent potential for castor oil based biodegradable 2T-lubricant as a
smoke pollution reducer
