The experimentations conducted in this paper concentrated on alternative sources by developing new mixtures of fuels to reduce the fuel consumption and to reduce the environmental impact of combustion emissions. It describes the experimental results of different mixtures of diesohol (Diesel+ alcohol). To investigate the performance of the diesel engine at different mixtures percentages of ethanol and methanol with diesel. Different diesohol mixtures (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% of ethanol and methanol with diesel) were tested and compared with pure diesel samples. The experimentations were conducted using four strokes (1400 cc) 8 hp and 1 cylinder diesel engine test bed (Lester P-8-1). Remarkable results were obtained regarding different operating conditions such as torque, thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption. The experimental results obtained concluded that the disohol mixtures improved the torque and the thermal efficiency of the engine compared to the pure Diesel samples.
