It is a promising non-toxic and biodegradable alternative fuel used in the transport sector whose use is rapidly expanding around the world. This paper has collected, from scientific literatures, the following data and analysis. Parameter deciding suitability as a bio-fuel. Fuel profile of bio-diesel. Engine testing and performance using bio-diesel. Reduction of emission. Enhanced corrosion of automotive parts due to use of biodiesel.
Keywords- Biodiesel, performance of biodiesel, emission and engine durability.
