Biodiesel Biodiesel - is a vegetable oil-based fuel that runs in diesel engines. Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil and from waste cooking oil (yes, from McDonalds, Fish, Mexican or Chinese restaurants and any other restaurant or food services that use to frying in vegetable oil) Biodiesel can be used in any diesel vehicle without any modifications required On 1895 Dr. Rudolf Diesel developed the first diesel engine to run on vegetable oil. Dr. Diesel demonstrated his engine using peanut oil as fuel. Pros - Environment friendly - Clean the internals of a diesel engine - helps improve fuel efficiency. - Produces more power from each gallon of fuel - Decreases the country's dependence on imported petroleum. - Biodiesel is a much better lubricant than petro-diesel and extends engine life - Cheaper the mineral diesel Cons - It takes energy to produce biodiesel fuel (you need to warm up the oil - Biodiesel fuel can damage rubber hoses in some engines, particularly in
Cars built before 1994. You should check with the manufacturer
Before using biodiesel to see if you need to replace any hoses or rubber
Seals. Anyway it’s a simple and low cost task to replace your
Fuel lines with Biodiesel friendly material. - Biodiesel can wax at low temperatures (the solution is to add anti waxing
Additives to the fuel, which allow its smooth operation even in very
Cold weather conditions or blends with mineral diesel).
