Biodiesel production is a very modern and technological area for researchers due to the relevance that it is winning every day because of the increase in the petroleum price and the environmental advantages. In this research our purpose is to evaluate efficiency and emission testing of typical diesel fuels and biofuels Blends. The biofuels were generated from recycle corn oil from local restaurants. So far the results show small differences between the diesel and the diesel blends in all studied aspects. Six different diesels were studied plus four ratios of biofuels B10, B25, B50, and B75.
