Biodiesels are very important fuel when we discuss about renewable fuels. The main compositions of biodiesels are ester of triglycerides which are not hazardous to environment and life on earth surface. However, the source of petroleum oils is depleting day by day due to their huge use and competitive world. Biodiesels are good alternative to petroleum oils due to their low toxicity and ecofriendly characteristics. Biodiesels also shows low viscosities, low acid value, and lower carbon content and high flash point than petroleum fuels. High flash point and high fire point are the limitations of biodiesels for their use as alternative fuel for diesel engines. The present research work is to overcome these limitations by preparing blends of biodiesel with methanol and ether
