Non edible oilseeds tress such as neem, Sal, seemarounba, cotton, rubber, and polanga (undi) have an estimated annual production potential of more than 20 mega tons, of which polanga contributes 70 thousand metric tons. These oils have a great potential to produce bio-diesel for diesel engine application without any major hardware modification & no blending is needed. The use of straight vegetable oil is restricted by some physical properties, particularly their viscosity. Due to higher viscosity oil causes poor fuel atomization, incomplete combustion and carbon deposition on the injector and valve seats resulting serious engine fouling, we in this paper find solution for the better efficiency of engine by means of polanga oil as a bio-diesel equal to that of petro-diesel fuel. Transesterification has been reported to be one of the most reliable and commonly used technique to produce bio-diesel from oil seeds .this paper also highlights a part of the experimental activities carried out on production of bio-
