This study aims to analyze the impact of drum brake systems on fuel consumption in a 6.5 HP diesel engine, as well as to compare the fuel efficiency of solar and dexlite fuels. In this experiment, braking simulations were conducted with varying loads and braking durations to evaluate the changes in fuel consumption between the two types of fuel. The data obtained were then analyzed to understand the relationship between braking intensity, fuel type, and energy efficiency. The results indicate that the frequency and duration of braking significantly affect fuel consumption. The more frequently braking occurs, the greater the workload on the engine to maintain the required speed and power, leading to an increase in fuel consumption. Additionally, fuel efficiency is influenced by the temperature and wear of the drum components, which increase with longer braking durations. A comparison between solar and dexlite fuels shows that dexlite exhibits better efficiency than solar. Engines using dexlite tend to produce higher power with lower fuel consumption at the same load. This is attributed to the higher cetane number of dexlite, which enables more complete combustion and optimal energy output. Fuel efficiency improved by an average of 8-12% when using dexlite compared to solar, making it a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly option. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing more efficient braking systems, particularly for small diesel engines. The practical implication of this research is the opportunity to optimize braking system designs and select more efficient fuel types to reduce fuel consumption without compromising braking performance
