dc.description.abstract	Used frying oil (fried palm oil) was treated with silica gel so as to reduce some of the poor quality parameters of the oil especially the Peroxide and Free Fatty Acid Values. The free fatty acid and peroxide values of the used treated oil subjected to absorbent treatment was reduced by31.12% and 47.8% respectively. The pretreated used fried palm oil was converted into methyl esters as biodiesel via transetrification reaction using Sodium hydroxide. The methyl esters produced had comparable fuel properties as petroleum diesel; hence it can be used as a petrol-diesel substitute.	en_US
