Abstract


Recently biodiesel as an alternative fuel is getting more significance to replace diesel fuel partially and help reduce environmental pollution. However, corrosion of automotive materials in biodiesel is a major concern as this can reduce of engine life. This paper reviews the effects of corrosion on the engine parts that come in contact with biodiesel and its diesel blends. In metals copper, brass, bronze shows high level of corrosion in biodiesel and biodiesel blends on the other side aluminium shows low corrosion. Stainless steel has high resistance to corrosion as compare to copper, aluminium and copper alloys in biodiesel.
