The necessity to find an alternate fuel has arisen due to the rapid spike in cost of crude oil. In terms of economics, the alternative fuel should be more appealing than fossil fuels. Vegetable oils are used to make costly yet environmentally beneficial biodiesels. Utilizing leftover cooking oil to produce biodiesel is less expensive than using virgin oil. The bio-diesel have prepared from Waste cooking oil (WCO), collected from GITAM University hostel mess. This reaction has accelerated by the base catalysed the transesterification reaction with using ethanol. 1HNMR and IR spectrum analyses were used to describe the biodiesel that was produced. Numerous physico-chemical characteristics of biodiesels and their mixes with petroleum diesel were examined. The results of the investigation indicate that the blends from B10 to B40 have high flash points, lower pour points, and kinematic viscosity in the range of 2 to 5 cSt at 40 oC.
