The aim of the present research study is to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) using Transesterification reaction at laboratory scale and also comparison of the % of yield and quality of Bio-diesel fuel that comply the specification of standard methods (ASTM D 6751 and ISO 3675/p32). For the production of Bio-diesel, WCO is collected from Restaurant, university canteen, snack centre and mixed oil is collected from temple. In transesterification process KOH and NaOH is used as catalyst and Methanol and Ethanol were used. All tests are conducted using same volume of alcohol and constant stirring speed i.e. 200 rpm for two hrs, during stirring no heat is supply. High % yield of Bio-diesel is achieved from WCO collected from Restaurant and snack centre using KOH as a catalyst and methanol. Physico-chemical parameters of both samples are within the prescribed limit of Bio-diesel.
