The paper presents the laboratory test results determining physical parameters of fuel mixture made up of petroleum diesel oil, rapeseed oil methyl esters (up to 20%) and water (up to 2.5%).The obtained parameters prove that adding bio-components (rapeseed oil methyl esters) and water to fuel does not result in deterioration of their physical and chemical properties and are comparable gotrax rear fender to base fuel parameters, namely petroleum diesel oil.The mixture was a subject of bench testing with the use of a self-ignition engine by means of pre-catalytic fuel treatment.The treatment hp 15-ef1005ds process consisted in fuel - catalytically active material direct contact on the atomizer body.

At the comparable operational parameters for the engine, the obtained exhaust gases opacity was lower up to 60% due to the preliminary fuel mixture treatment in relation to the factory-made fuel injection system using petroleum diesel oil.
