Abstract: With the decreasing trend of oil reserves and environmental changes due to burning of fossil fuels led to exploration of alternative energy sources for running vehicles. In regard to alternative energy, production of biodiesel will be the next choice for replacement of fossil fuels. It is well known fact that diesel engines when operated with biodiesels leads to lowering of global warming issues and emission levels. Second thing to note that biodiesel production should be cheap. In context to this edible and non edible oils combination for biodiesel production is a favorable choice. In the present work Biodiesel production using blends (coconut oil and cotton seed oil) is made from transesterification process and performance test is done on 4-stroke water-cooled diesel engine. It is noticed that coconut oil blend B10 is best alternative fuel and a replacement for diesel fuel in running 4-stroke water-cooled diesel engine.
