The increasing use of fossil fuels will cause the world's oil reserves to be depleted. In this case, it is necessary increase alternative renewable fuels, one which biodiesel waste cooking (WCO). method used an experimental test with a mixture and fuel. Before testing, temperature each fuel increased determine effect on density viscosity values. highest value found in B50 at 26 °C, 0.854 gr/ml, while lowest diesel 60 0.822 gr/ml. °C 3.26 cSt. After that, testing was carried out engine, produced thermal efficiency 21.16% 1000 rpm rotation load 4000 watts. 6.43% 800 consumption B30 1200 rpm, 420.78 gr/kWh. From results tests that have been out, can concluded lower fuel, better performance engine average. High temperatures effectively make than normal (26 °C), engines WCO especially SFC.
