INTRODUCTION

One hundred years ago, Rudolf Diesel tested vegetable oil as fuel for his engine. In 1930s and 1940s vegetable oils were used as diesel fuels, but only in emergency situations (1),(2). Alternative fuels for diesel engines are becoming increasingly important due to diminishing petroleum reserves and the environmental consequences of exhaust gases from petroleum fuelled engines (3),(4). A number of studies have shown that triglycerides hold promise as alternative diesel engine fuels. So, many countries are interested in that. For example, evaluation of the production of biodiesel in Europe since 1992 shows an increasing trend (5). Waste vegetable oil ...
