What is Biodiesel fuel?
Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel. It is a domestic
product made from easily renewable resources like soybean and
vegetable oil. Pure 100% Biodiesel (Neat) contains no petroleum
diesel. However, Biodiesel is also often sold in a blend of Biodiesel
and standard petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is for use in diesel
engines only.
Types of Biodiesel Fuel
There are two basic types of Biodiesel that are commonly sold
throughout the States. B100 and B20. B100 is 100% (Neat) Biodiesel
fuel. It is the cleanest type of biodiesel fuel.
The second common fuel would be the B20 Biodiesel blend. This
fuel is 20% Biodiesel blended with 80% petroleum diesel. While
not as clean as B100, B20 still has significant improvements
over your standard petroleum diesel. Your diesel engine will
give you better gas mileage, run much more efficiently and last
longer with the use of either grade of biodiesel. And if that
is not reason enough already, it is much safer for the environment.
