The physical properties of any fuel are of significant importance to determining its suitability for a particular engine. The prediction of various properties of biodiesel or biodiesel blends with gasoline is vital to the design of different diesel engines. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the characterization of biodiesel density according to the standard testing methods employed in the present study. On the basis of the experimental material research in the field of biofuels, the effect of gasoline addition to biofuel on the biofuel properties was studied. The density of biofuel was found to decrease linearly with an increase in the blending ratio. Based on the data obtained, = 0.8838 g/cm3 for 100 % biodiesel is not fully acceptable according to the referenced standards, and thus cannot be used in the United States without blending. However, this value is still within the acceptable range for use in the EU.
