Abstract: In this research, the properties of biodiesel (from mahua oil), diesel and their blends were investigated. The blends were prepared on a volume basis. The density, kinematic viscosity, flash point and fire point of the samples were measured. The results showed that the density, kinematic viscosity, flash point and fire point of diesel fuels (B0) are lower than the biodiesel (B100). Therefore, the density, viscosity, flash point and fire point of the blend increases with the increase of biodiesel concentration.

Keywords: Biodiesel, Mahua oil, Density, Viscosity, Flash point, Fire point, Properties
