Nowadays, increased interest among the scientific community to explore the <i>Calophyllum inophyllum</i> as alternative fuels for diesel engines is observed. This research is about using mixed <i>Calophyllum inophyllum</i>-palm oil biodiesel production and evaluation that biodiesel in a diesel engine. The <i>Calophyllum inophyllum</i>−palm oil methyl ester (CPME) is processed using the following procedure: (1) the crude <i>Calophyllum inophyllum</i> and palm oils are mixed at the same ratio of 50:50 volume %, (2) degumming, (3) acid-catalysed esterification, (4) purification, and (5) alkaline-catalysed transesterification.
