Coconut oil is environmentally friendly vegetable oil and is very easy to obtain in Indonesia, therefore coconut oil can be used as alternative energy. This study was conducted to determine the effect of adding pure diesel fuel to the characteristics of coconut oil steam diffusion combustion. The method used in this study is a real experimental method. From this study, it was found that in a mixture of 90% coconut oil + 10% pure diesel fuel burning results 6.83 mm with a temperature of 328 ° C, while in a mixture of 80% coconut oil + 20% pure diesel fuel, the result of combustion 12, 86 mm with a temperature of 389 ° C and in a variation of a mixture of 70% coconut oil + 30% pure diesel fuel burning yield 23.15 mm with a temperature of 423 ° C. The difference in flame height and temperature is due to the difference in viscosity and heating value of the two oils. Therefore, from this research, it can be concluded that in every addition of pure diesel fuel, the temperature and height of the fire will increase.
