The quest for a sustainable future for transport-fuels has led to the consideration of advanced methods of admixing fossil fuels without compromising their qualities; this is aimed at improving/complementing the properties of these fuels for high engine performance. Owing to the high abundance of biomass from which alternative fuels can be sourced for blending or improving the properties of conventional gasoline and diesel fuels, it has become pertinent to consider their use as complementary fuels towards ensuring high sustainability of the fuels as transport-fuels. The synergistic effects offered by these fuels helps to improve the properties of the fuels better than the individual components that make up the fuel mix. Hybrid gasoline-biofuel fuels offer these improved properties as a result of the complementary effects of either or both components offer in the hybrid fuels such that there is a boost in the fuel’s combustion potential owing to the degree of homogenization attained during blending. Furthermore, despite ensuring high compatibility of the individual fuels that make up the biofuel-diesel fuel mix, it is also pertinent to emphasize the need to obtain an optimum blend of the dual fuel system for the engine performance because, for specific dual fuel systems, beyond the optimum mixture composition, the performance of the engine begins to wane owing to the alteration in the properties of the fuel mix beyond favorable conditions for complete/near complete combustion of the fuels. Therefore, in this chapter, the properties of different dual fuel systems will be discussed alongside the degree of homogenization that can improve the atomization/combustion potential of the fuels towards attaining high engine BTEs, high engine power, moderate heat release rates as well as good air–fuel ratios.
