However, the combustion phasing loss caused by longer injection duration can be partially compensated by the fast combustion rate in the late combustion phase with PODE component. In addiction, the volatility of diesel can be improved by blending PODE, which has the advantage to reduce the locally fuel-rich region and to suppress the soot formation. According to the properties of PODE mentioned above, it can be seen that PODE has the potential to be one of the ideal alternative fuels in diesel engine.
