Zeolite-A was synthesized from pumice silica and food grade aluminium foil with hydrothermal method at 100? for 72 hours, then calcined at 600, 700, and 800? for 6 hours. Synthesized zeolite-A was then characterized using XRD and SEM to ensure the formation of zeolite-A. Liquid fuel produced from the catalytic upgrading process using zeolite-A was analyzed using GC-MS to identify the components contained in the sample. The GC-MS results show the most optimum catalyst used for catalytic upgrading in terms of hydrocarbon was zeolite-A 700?C with relative percentage of 84.48\%, and the least optimum was zeolite-A 800?C with relative percentage of 81.37\%. In terms of hydrocarbon chain in range of bio gasoline, zeolite-A 600?C has the highest relative percentage of 47\%, and the least optimum was zeolite-A 700?C with relative percentage of 36\%.
