The study presents an almost completely forgotten oil plant named gold-of-pleasure (large-seed false flax) (Camelina sativa L) that is currently cultivated at the Chair of Plant Genetics and Breeding of the Agricultural University in Poznan. It is a plant characterized by small requirements and the least sensitive to soil water deficits of all oil plants. In addition, it has low soil requirements and can be cultivated on light soils. The oil made from this little known plant can be easily used to produce biofuels. The authors present the proportion of basic fatty acids and compared them with rapeseed oil. In addition, properties of the oil obtained from this plant were compare with those of the diesel oil. Biofuel made from the gold-of-pleasure, cultivated on its own fields, is currently manufactured by the Agricultural Enterprise of Mutual Help Barka in Chudopczyce using for this purpose a special installation based on design of the Industrial Institute of Agricultural Engineering (PIMR)
