In relation to the scantiness of stores and the constantly increasing demand for energy, societies are forced to seek alternative energy sources. Biofuels that is fuels produced of biomass are one of them. The most important biofuels are bioethanol (produced from sugar cultivations and cereal crops, used with petrol) and biodiesel (ester produced mainly of vegetable oils; serves as the substitute or the addition to diesel). The esters of vegetable oils production requires using appropriate apparatus which enables to produce esters with parameters defined in very exacting legal norms about the quality of such fuel. In the paper were described results examining the quality of esters and mineral oils made with the use highly specialist, new generation 's apparatus which fulfll the conditions defining in the relevant norm. Results of those surveys are showing that using simple methods in production such biofuel doesn 't let for getting the product with parameters defined by the law. Applying fuel with lowered standard parameters influences on observed cases of improper functioning of fuel apparatus in engines with self-ignition, mainly in case of high pressure systems (e.g. Common Rail).
