Biodiesels are fuels that are made from renewable oils that can usually be used in diesel engines without modification. These fuels have properties similar to fossil diesel oils and have reduced emissions from a cleaner burn due to their higher Oxygen content. The current and impending energy and environmental crises have revitalized the need to find more viable renewable resources. The present work investigates the production of biodiesel from mahua oil by mechanical stirring method at different molar ratio and reaction time. After that engine performance were evaluated, operated with blends of mahua biodiesel and diesel.
