The study presents preparation of a Mesua ferrea L. seed-oil-based emulsion hybrid fuel system by blending with alcohols (ethanol and butan-2-ol) in which butan-2-ol was employed as a surfactant. The study also deals with the investigation of the effect on fuel properties of the hybrid fuel due to the variation in surfactant amount and analysis of the prepared hybrid fuel system by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR). The experimental results show that the properties of the hybrid fuels were comparable to that of diesel and biodiesel.
