To overcome the threat on environment, posed by the use of fossil fuel that leads to global warming, depletion of fossils fuels reserves, etc. Researches are on-going to find the optimum solutions in resolving some of these problems. In this research, the aim is to investigate the effect of camphor and butanol when blended with premium motor spirit (PMS) on the performance and emission of a spark-ignition (SI) engine, taking into account the physicochemical properties of the fuel mixture. A sample of B0B shows the best physicochemical properties as compared to the sole petrol (B0A) having values of 0.7572,1.3 poise, 55℃, 59℃ and 1.9% for specific gravity (SG), viscosity (), flash point, fire point and iodine value (IV), respectively. The performance tests results showed that when the unleaded gasoline was blended with butanol-camphor, the engine performance decreases except for the sample with a small quantity of camphor. At two-constant torques of 3 and 6 Nm, the B0B shows results(in pair) of (468, 867) W for brake power, (1.91, 3.75) bar for brake mean effective pressure, (22.77, 12.99) kgKWh-1 for specific fuel consumption and (36, 67) % for brake thermal efficiency, respectively. Also, the CO, CO2, HC and NOx emission concentrations in the engine exhaust also decreases as the percentage of butanol increases in the samples. Sample B15C which consists of 85%petrol, 15%butanol and 10g of camphor shows the least emission of the gases. At the two-constant torques, B15C shows a result of (0.12, 0.13) % for carbon monoxide (CO), (1.23, 1.03) % for carbon dioxide (CO2), (241, 250) ppm for the hydrocarbon (HC) and (242, 253) ppm for nitrogen oxide (NOx), respectively.
