Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that can be renewed and as a promising of diesel fuel in the future.  In this study, the production of biodiesel from used waste vegetable oil through the initial treatment reaction saponification and without saponification. The process of producing of biodiesel can used by the transesterification method. The yield of biodiesel were obtained then analysis for quantity by calculating of the percent yield on each yield for biodiesel with saponification successively is 61.68%. The biodiesel product without saponification successively is 81.93%. The quality test produced for biodiesel density test with and without saponification is 0.8871 g / mL and 0.8975 g / mL ,% FFA 0.3375 mg KOH / g and 0.6325 mg KOH / g, and flash point 184 ℃ and 182.6 ℃.

The research into turning a vegetable oil into an alternative fuel has been underway for some time [1-5]. Although some countries have begun to use some biomass as a fuel for the automobile, the wide use of an alternative fuel has been difficult without substantial subsidies owing to the cost of the biomass which is 3-5 times higher than that of fossil fuel. However, the cost of waste vegetable oil is competitive with that of fossil fuel and, in the collection of waste vegetable oil, there is an additional advantage of being able to prevent its illegal dumping. Furthermore, the reuse of the oil will improve the profitability of its collection. This research focused on the engine performance and emission characteristics of methyl-esterified vegetable oil when it is used in a diesel engine of an automobile. The research conducted with direct injection (DI) and indirect injection (IDI) diesel engines revealed that, for engine performance, the alternative fuel was on a par with light oil. For the emission of particulates, with the IDI diesel engine there was no significant difference between the light oil; however, the DI engine proved to emit a much larger quantity of particulates in the low to middle load range. The research also revealed the necessity for countermeasures against solidification of the fuel during the winter months, the generation and emission of aldehyde and benzene, which are typical of oxygenated fuel, and the tempuralike smell caused by propionaldehyde.

Considering the fuel demands, lots of researches have been done in the field of alternate fuels. After attaining the saturation level in this research area, still we are in need to find some alternate ways for fuel demand. Previous researchers concluded that approximate addition of 0-20% of vegetable oil with conventional diesel fuel leads to closer performance of diesel oil and controlled carbon emission; additionally they proved that there is no engine modifications needed for this optimized blend characteristic usage. Likewise, Chemical additives also can be added directly with diesel fuel and fuel blends of vegetable oils in which various researches concluded that 0-10% addition of chemical additives providing closer performance to diesel fuel. If we specifically pointing about solvent ether say Di-ethyl ether, resulting preferable performance to use as alternate fuel up to 0-5% and accepted results have been provided on some vegetable oils such as POME, Neem oil. In case of Jatropha oil, Proper results and Experiments are not found to be used as better alternative solution with Di-ethyl ether blend. This article brings us to enhanced experiment details and results obtained on Di-ethyl ether with Jatropha oil blend in which optimized Bio-diesel blend (J20= 80% diesel and 20% Jatropha oil) is taken as base fuel throughout the experiment. Keeping J20 oil as base fuel, experiments are conducted with various proportions of Di-ethyl ether (0-12%). Additionally it provides, engine performance characteristics and emission parameters when compared to conventional diesels, Jatropha blend (J20), Di-ethyl ether blend.
