Today most of the countries in the world are the importers of energies. The largest demand occurred in the energy system, especially for petroleum and its products. Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly, renewable source, non-toxic and biodegradable matter. It contains monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty matters, and it is collected from vegetable oil, animal fats, algae, and non-edible oils. In this work, bio oil was extracted from Catharanthus roseus seed using Soxhlet apparatus. During the study of extraction, a better yield of bio oil 31.50% was obtained from a polar solvent like Methanol at 65 degrees C, with the time of 3 h. The fuel parameters such as flash and fire point, cloud and pour point, and carbon residue 0.1% were studied. The parameters of physico-chemical properties and fuel properties are analyzed by AOCS and ASTM standard methods.
