Escalating fuel crisis and environmental pollution have generated interest in alternative fuel. Vegetable oils present promising alternate to diesel, since most of their properties are in good agreement with those of petro-diesel. Obviously, inedible and waste vegetable oils can be seriously considered as fuels for engines as edible vegetable oils are far too expensive. In this work, available information on utilization of waste vegetable oil (WVO) as an alternative fuel in compression ignition engine has been collected and arranged in a systematic order. The present paper discusses method of biodiesel production and characteristics of WVO in comparison with diesel. Engine performance, emission and combustion characteristics using waste vegetable oil as a fuel have been deeply analyzed. In short, a meticulous report has been prepared to give an insight into the progress of research in the field of waste vegetable oil as fuels for compression ignition engine.
