Abstract: In recent days there is a demand for petroleum based fuels because of the growth of industrial sectors and transportation. This can be overcome using the bio fuels instead of using the petroleumbased. This type of bio-diesel can be prepared from the calophyllum inophyllumseed. In this type there are three treatments used to purify the seed oil. They are pre-treatment, post treatment and transesterification process. After this processes the acid contents, fatty acids are removed. Then the results of the oil are studied and find the best ratio of the diesel with the mixing of petroleum fuel.
