The article presents findings of the comparative analyses of the selected physicochemical parameters of diesel fuel and diesel-ethanol blends with addition of dodecanol, used in order to stabilise the blend Diesel fuel and the blends were tested for density, flash point and cold filter plugging point. The physicochemical propertis were assessed in seven samples with different proportional volume of ethanol contained in diesel fuel. Homogeneous blends were produced by adding 5% dodecanol to blends containining between 5% and 30% ethanol. The study was conducted to assess the selected physicochemical properties of diesel-ethanol blends with addition of dodecanol and to compare the obtained results with requirement of EN590:2022-08
