Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the performance of gasoline engines using pure fuel (pertalite) with plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO) fuel from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste. The test was carried out on a four stroke, single cylinder test bed machine. The research begins with the manufacture of fuel from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste using the pyrolysis method. The performance parameters evaluated are torque, power and specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The results of the test show that the engine performance using LDPE type plastic waste fuel is relatively lower than pertalite. However, the consumption of LDPE fuel is lower than pertalite.
