The effect of the Fuel Performance Catalyst (FPC) on the different diesel properties namely density, viscosity and flashpoint of biofuel has been investigated. The biodiesel-petro-diesel blends concentrations (Vol %) of B10, B20 and B30 have been analyzed with the pure biodiesel (B100) and petro-diesels (B0) as upper and lower boundaries respectively. The results indicated that the FPC: Diesel fuel ratio of 1: 10 100 did not have a significant effect on density and viscosity of the biofuel at a temperatures of 20 °C to 80 °C. The observed increase in flash point as blend concentration increased may be considered as good results with respect to safety and fuel handling requirements. The FPC lowered the flash point marginally; this can be good for ignition of fuel in combustion ignition engines and can be attributed to the observed reduction in fuel viscosity and density as studied in this work.
