The impact of biodiesel blend ratio on vehicle performance and emissions by Bannister, C.D., Pickford, W., Brown, A., Chrysafi, S.S., Price, P., Chuck, C.J., Ali, Hapipah Mohd, Hawley, J.G.

“…Catalyst conversion efficiencies for carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons over the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC) are reduced by 9-19 per cent (depending on the ambient temperature) for a 50:50 blend (B50) compared with the petroleum diesel (B0) baseline. Increasing the blend ratio caused a linear decrease in the vehicle's maximum tractive force. …”

The effect of waste cooking oil methanol molar ratio on yield and properties of biodiesel produced in a mini plant by Abdullah, Noor Hazwani
