In order to improve diesel engine performance and reduce harmful environmental effects, many researchers have proposed mixing additives with diesel. The current study focuses on the effect of performance parameters when neat diesel mixed with an ionic liquid at concentration of 200 ppm. Performance parameters that include Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) and Brake Power (BP) were measured at all the combination of 2 kg and 3 kg loads and at engine speeds of 1250 rpm, 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm. According to the findings, adding 200 ppm of ionic liquid, BTE increased with an average of 10% and a maximum increase of 27.67%, whereas BSFC reduced with an average of 6.7% and a maximum reduction of 15.74%. Additionally, BP saw an average increase of 2.79% and a maximum increment of 5%.
