%X The article presents the analysis of possible applications of BrownĄŻs gas to the diesel engine running on oil. The paper also contains a review of experimental works. The selected fuel combinations are as follows: diesel fuel, diesel fuel and BrownĄŻs gas, oil (rapeseed oil) and oil and BrownĄŻs gas. Test results have shown that an additional supply of BrownĄŻs gas to the engine results in a decrease in the amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke level; however it increases the total emission of nitrous oxides (NOx). The supply of BrownĄŻs gas at low engine load increases comparative effective fuel consumption and reduces high efficiency. Nevertheless, these performance indicators tend to improve at average engine load.
