The production of bioethanol from coconut pith by sulphuric acid hydrolysis in the presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined. The fuel properties of the bioethanol were determined using standard methods. The results obtained shows that; boiling point was 78.8°C, density, 803.3 kgm-3, API gravity 43.7°API, octane number [RON131, MON119], flash point 15°C, ignition point 41°C, pour point -36°C and viscosity 1.62cSt. These fuel properties were found to compare favourably with existing standard and commercially available bioethanol.
