Abstract
Rise in energy demand, unpredictable diesel fuel prices and fossil fuels-a finite source, will not remain forever draws the attention of researchers looking other alternative sources of energy such as biodiesels, an alternative fuel, is derived from fats of animals and plants. Biodiesel derived from vegetable oils also known as edible oils is one of the alternatives can be used for running internal combustion engines or for other energy requirements. Moreover, these fuels can be added to diesel fuels which will further lower the demand of diesel. The purpose of this study is to analyze experimentally the characteristics of biodiesel made from vegetable oils which includes WVO oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, refined oil and mustard oil while comparing them with each other and with diesel.
