Biodiesel does not have a regular molecular formula because it is a mixture of different molecules. It is prepared from the esterification of fatty acids with methanol, and a typical fatty acid is stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH. The ester would therefore be CH3(CH2)16COOCH3, or C19H39O2.

What is the chemical formula of Jatropha oil?
Jatropha oil itself is a substance. So not being a (pure) compund, it has no chemical formula. It might be toxic.There are tens of different formulas, because it's not a pure chemical by itself but a mixture. It is a non-food, biodiesel energy oil from pressed seeds (35% oil) of Jatropha curcas(plant family: Euphorbiaceae).
What is the chemical formula for biodiesel and how is it derived?
The chemical formula for biodiesel is C17H34O2. It is derived through a process called transesterification, where vegetable oils or animal fats are reacted with alcohol (usually methanol or ethanol) in the presence of a catalyst to produce biodiesel and glycerin.

Why is Fe balanced with coefficient of 3 instead of a subscript of 3?
The subscript is mentioned only in a chemical formula.3 FeCl3 in a chemical reaction is not similar to Fe3O4 in a chemical formula.
