The rising concern over the exhaust emissions yielded by the increased demand for diesel as well as the realization that diesel is non-renewable has triggered various iniatiatives to search for more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives. The goal of this study is to review the processes involved in the extraction of biodiesel from sandbox (Hura Crepitans) seed oils and analyze the performance of the engine operating under diesel engine thermodynamic conditions. This review describes the sandbox oil and biodiesel yield and sandbox oil performance with biodiesel blends in operating diesel engines. Literature provided data contrasting conventional diesel with diesel-biodiesel blends that showed the diesel-biodiesel blend had lower ignition delay coupled with a lower heat release rate and slightly better efficiency
