Abstract

Biodiesel is a good alternate to replace or reduce the use of commercial diesel. It has a very good characteristic which make it suitable and has potential to be implement and to be use in Malaysia. Biodiesel can reduce the pollution created by commercial diesel. However, in order to prove that it is suitable to be use, it's properties must be find out and compared with the test standards. It has capability issues with certain materials, is inherent, instable and highly corrosive. In this study, the fuel properties (acid value, density, flash point) of the biodiesel blends produced from waste cooking oil (WCO) was carried out. Biodiesel used in the experiment are in pure form (B100), and blended with commercial diesel in the form of B10 (10 percent biodiesel, 90 percent commercial diesel), B20 (20 percent biodiesel, 80 percent commercial diesel), B30 (30 percent biodiesel, 70 percent commercial diesel). From the result, we know that only B10 pass the acid value test which is lower than 0.5mhKOH/g. For the density test, all of the biodiesel blends have passed with all of it lower than the reading of 880 kg/m3 . And for the flash point, the result seems promising where all of them falls around 88°C to 98°C.it is also found that the BHT added to the B10 biodiesel blend improve the properties of the biodiesel blend produced from waste cooking oil(WCO).
