- - - - Flash point: 229 degrees C
        
        This fuel is also viable in South Asia
    - - Flash point: 315 degrees C
        
        Also viable in South Asia
    - - Flash point: 315 degrees C
        
        Can be grown viably in South Asia
    - - Flash point: 315 degrees C
        
        Viable in South Asia
    - - Flash point: 45 degrees C
        
        Viable in South Asia
        
        Nutmeg oil will be chosen as one test fuel since it has a low flash point while having some evidence of lower emission
      - Some literature supports lower particulate, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbon emission
    - - Flash point: 282 degrees C
        
        Viable in South Asia
        
        Peanut oil will be chosen as another choice as it has been used as a fuel before and has a relatively lower flash point
    - - Flash point: 162 degrees C
        
        Viable in South Asia
      - Some literature suggests it has higher NOx and CO emissions than diesel on average
  - - - Can be made from trees and thus, is theoretically carbon neutral
    - - Is theoretically carbon neutral
        
        This will be chosen as it is easily obtainable from sugar cane farms as a byproduct
        
        FINAL FUEL CHOICES
        
        Bagasse
        
        Nutmeg oil
        
        Peanut oil
  - - - If it is grown, it must be able to be grown successfully in the region's environment.
- - - - 250 mL glass beakers to store water that will be used to measure the heat released from combustion
      - Aluminium foil to provide insulation and reduce wasted heat
      - Gas lighter to ignite the fuels initially
      - Spirit burner to act as a site of combustion for liquid fuels
        
        100 mL glass beakers to act as a vessel for the liquid fuels
        
        Four cotton wicks of diameter 5 mm as greater number and diameter increases rate of combustion
      - 100 mL glass beaker for solid fuel storage
      - Digital scale to weigh fuels
      - Acrylic draught shield to prevent interference from air currents
