This study observes three different combustion engine fuels: biodiesel produced by Meroco, Inc. Company (Alternative fuel I); biodiesel produced in factory situated in Sereď (Alternative fuel II); and conventional diesel fuel (Diesel fuel) from Slovnaft, Inc. Company service station. All measurements were repeated three times. Measurements were conducted by free acceleration test at different engine loads. A statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in smoke emissions values was detected between Alternative fuel I and conventional Diesel fuel, and between Alternative fuel I and Alternative fuel II. The difference in smoke emissions values between conventional fuel and Alternative fuel II was not statistically significant (P >0.05). Tested engine has met the requirements of the EURO 3 emission limit values in relation to the measurement results of particulate matter emissions.
