This research conducted in Energy Engineering Laboratory State Polytechnic of Sriwijaya with purpose to get the influence of the electrical load (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 watt) and ratio liquid fuel product with gasoline (0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, dan 5:0) towards performance liquid fuel the result of conversion Polypropylene (PP) plastic waste on the unit prototype plastic waste power plant (PLTSa) with design capacity 1 KWH in terms of Spesific Fuel Consumption (SFC) value, Torque and effective power generator set. This research using a design research methods that is continued by experiments. Effective power and torque analyzed using tachometer, Multimeter, and Stopwatch while Spesific fuel consumption calculation of liquid fuel consumption. Analysis of this data using descriptive statistical analysis that is describing collected data after being given treatment during the research, by presenting data in the form of tables, graphs, and calculations. The results of the research show that the ratio BBC : gasoline 2:3 with 800 Watt Electrical load produced of engine power, torque, and SFC optimal with results 1.280 Hp, 173.611 Nm, and 0.461 Kg/Hp.hour with type of Polypropylene plastic, while type of Low Density Polyethylene plastic have the result 1.259 Hp, 170.753 Nm, and 0.536 Kg/Hp.hour. so that by mixing it can save conventional fuel specially gasoline with mixing liquid fuel the result of the conversion plastic waste, but does not reduce the
