Biodiesel is an alternative fuel similar to conventional or "fossil" diesel. Biodiesel can be produced from pure vegetable oil, animal fats, tallow and waste cooking oil. The process used to convert these oils into Biodiesel is called transesterification.
Improved Engine Performance
Biodiesel helps engines run longer.
You can feel good about fueling up with biodiesel. It’s better for your engine and better for our environment than regular petroleum.
Biodiesel is a natural lubricant.
In the last few years, the fuel industry has reduced the amount of sulfur in petroleum diesel fuel from 500 parts per million to 15 parts per million. This is good for the environment.
With the numerous moving internal parts of an engine working at a high temperature, lubricity is important for maintaining functionality and longevity.
Engine manufacturers depend on lubricity to keep moving parts, especially fuel pumps, from wearing prematurely.
Biodiesel is high in lubricity while low in sulfur content. It adds the lubricity that’s absent in ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) back into the fuel mixture — helping to decrease wear and tear on engine components and increase engine life.
Biodiesel is a powerful engine cleaner.
Petroleum diesel fuel leaves behind carbon residue in a vehicle’s engine. Biodiesel’s natural detergent properties actually pick up and sweep away the sediment left in engines by the petroleum diesel — helping them run smoother and more efficiently.
