Abstract: The objective of the study is to determine the effect on emissions of multi cylinder internal combustion engines due to ethanol blending .The exhaust emissions of multi cylinder serviced engine were tested and evaluated by using blends containing 5%,10%,15% ethanol, the gasoline in multi cylinder engine could be replaced with higher blend. The results showed that there is substantial reduction in exhaust gases like, Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon. The complete combustion resulting from use of ethanol increases carbon dioxide emission.

Keywords: spark ignition engine, emission, ethanol.
