This article discusses the technological aspects of the development and efficient operation of a fuel filter designed to purify a mixture of diesel and biofuels. The authors analyze the engineering implementation challenges associated with the production and use of this type of filter. The article discusses in detail the technical solutions that determine the efficiency and duration of operation of such a fuel filter in conditions of use of mixed fuel.
A separate section is devoted to the study of the impact of mixed fuels on engine operation, with a focus on combustion efficiency and possible cases of malfunction. The article also examines the environmental benefits of using blended fuels, focusing on reduced emissions and positive environmental impacts compared to traditional diesels.
Particular attention is paid to innovative materials and technologies used to create fuel filters adapted to mixed fuels. The authors consider the advantages and disadvantages of different materials and their impact on the functionality of the filter.
The article concludes with an overview of the standards and regulations that govern the use of blended fuels, with a focus on fuel filter requirements to ensure safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance. Taking into account current trends in the development of fuel systems, the article is aimed at supporting engineers, scientists and specialists from the automotive and energy industries in improving the technologies of blended fuels and their elements.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
