Abstract: This paper presents the performance results of a 7.5 hp Kirloskar Engine make TV 1 research engine which was converted into spark ignition mode and run on Enriched biogas and Petrol at compression ratio of 8 at constant narrow load range around 2 kg and RPM varying from 1100-1800. At constant lower load condition for 1100, 1500, 1800 RPM, Enriched biogas Brake Specific fuel consumption were 10.77%, 24.24 % and 35.63% higher than petrol. At narrow constant load (15%) condition for 1100, 1500, 1800 RPM Brake thermal...........
