In this study, canola oil was
converted into Canola Oil Methyl Esters (Canola Biodiesel) by
transesterification method and biodiesel production was carried out.  Biodiesel fuel obtained from canola oil was
mixed with diesel fuel with 5% and 10% bioethanol addition and by inversion
with volumetric proportions, and then fuels in the form of D₁₀₀, B₁₀₀, E₅B₅D₉₀,
E₁₀B₁₀D₈₀, E₁₀B₅D₈₅
and E₅B₁₀D₈₅ were obtained.

Fuel properties of the
obtained mixtures and diesel fuel, density, water content, kinematic viscosity,
pH value, flash point, color specification, calorific value, clouding, pour and
freezing point tests, CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) test and copper rod
corrosion tests were performed.

According to the test results, it was concluded that biodiesel produced
from canola oil could be used as 100% in diesel engines blending with
bioethanol and without any modification on the engine; and it was an
alternative fuel to diesel fuel.
