In this study, canola oil wasconverted into Canola Oil Methyl Esters (Canola Biodiesel) bytransesterification method and biodiesel production was carried out. Biodiesel fuel obtained from canola oil wasmixed with diesel fuel with 5% and 10% bioethanol addition and by inversionwith volumetric proportions, and then fuels in the form of D100, B100, E5B5D90,E10B10D80, E10B5D85and E5B10D85 were obtained.Fuel properties of theobtained mixtures and diesel fuel, density, water content, kinematic viscosity,pH value, flash point, color specification, calorific value, clouding, pour andfreezing point tests, CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) test and copper rodcorrosion tests were performed.According to the test results, it was concluded that biodiesel producedfrom canola oil could be used as 100% in diesel engines blending withbioethanol and without any modification on the engine; and it was analternative fuel to diesel fuel.
