Online published on 4 June, 2018. Abstract According to the current statistics, there is continuous rise of consumption and thus cost of petroleum oil, International Energy Outlook 2008 reports the world consumption of petroleum oil as 84 million barrels per day. The conversion of waste plastics to liquid hydrocarbon fuel was carried out in thermal pyrolysis unit. This method is superior in all respects (ecological and economical). By adopting this technology, efficiently convert weight of waste plastics into 75% of useful liquid hydrocarbon fuels without emitting any pollutants. It would also take care of hazardous plastic waste and reduce the import of crude oil. Depletion of non-renewable source of energy such as fossil fuels at this stage demands the improvements of this technique. Based on the properties of the plastic fuel and diesel fuel, all the properties are nearer hence concluded that waste plastic fuel represents a good alternative fuel for diesel engine and, therefore, it can be used for diesel engine vehicles for the transportation purpose.
