Özet: In this study, the usability of essential oils as fuel additives in internal combustion diesel engines was investigated.Salvia candidissiman was preferred as essential oil raw material due to its oil efficiency.The essential oil of salvia candidissima plant biomass was obtained by hydro distillation method.The essential oil obtained was then converted into biofuel by transesterification reaction.Biofuel is added to diesel fuel at a rate of 10% by volume and is named [SB-10].DF] and [SB-10] fuels were tested in a variable compression ratio diesel engine at fixed 1550 rpm.Results: It showed that the [SB-10] fuel produced 2.46 Nm more torque and 4.29 HP more power than DF fuel. When looking at the combustion data, 4.99% in the pressure values of the fuel [SB-10], 16.72% in gas temperatures, % in the rate of increase in pressure. 22.84 and 2.85% more in cumulative heat release values.
