This paper describes a study carried out in order to determine the effects on the engine performances and exhaust emissions of ethanol and water as internal phases in diesel fuel unstabilized emulsions - directly formed the injection line. Comparison with the diesel fuel operation was made by using two different criteria: constant total energy input rate and constant total mass flow into the engine. Further experiments, varying the load and the injection timing, were also carried out. The results are discussed.
