The present study is to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of methyl ester mango seed biodiesel fueled single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. The engine was operated for 210, 225 and 250 bar injection pressures for B00, B10, B20 and B30 biodiesels. The experiments were carried out on water cooled diesel engine to determine the brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption and emission charecteristics for different injection pressures. The experimental result shows that the brake thermal efficiency of the biodiesel was slightly lower than the brake thermal efficiency of diesel fueled engine. The specific fuel consumption of biodiesel was more compared to diesel. The CO emissions and NOx emissions are lower at the 225 bar injection pressure for all types of biodiesels. The NOx emissions increases and CO2 emissions decreases as methyl ester mango seed oil blend boosts in the pure diesel.
