Check your owner‘s manual or with the engine manufacturer. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), most engine manufacturers currently allow the use of up to 5% biodiesel (B5), so long as the unblended biodiesel fuel used in the blended product meets the quality standards specified by ASTM D6751. Many engine manufacturers publish their guidelines for biodiesel use on their websites.

Most major diesel vehicle manufacturers have already acknowledged that biodiesel will not void your warranty. Check with your dealer or diesel mechanic for further details. In the UK a 5% blend will not effect any diesel warranties.

Many major engine manufacturers have made formal statements that the use of biodiesel blends under 20 percent will not void their warranty. For biodiesel blends over 20 percent, it is necessary to check with the manufacturer to see if there are any issues regarding their warranty.

Most warranties do not cover fuel use. If your car is damaged by something in the fuel system, be it bad petroleum diesel or bad biodiesel, the dealer will still say "fuel is not covered by warranty." Your warranty may differ, so contact your warranty representative to be certain, and expect them to give you an answer that minimizes the possibility they can get sued, meaning something like "don't use biodiesel." Let us know what you find out.

Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats through a chemical reaction and meeting ASTM D 6751. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with heating oil. It can be used in home heating oil systems safely with no modifications to the fuel tanks, pumps or burners in concentrations up to 20% biodiesel with only minimal precautions (see conditions for use section).

Any diesel engine can operate on Biodiesel with no modification to the engine. Older vehicles often must have their fuel lines changed from natural rubber to synthetic rubber hoses. Using B20 (a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel) requires no precautions before use. If you want to use a blend higher than B20, such as B99.9, you will need to be aware of a few precautions before proceding. B100 is compatible will ALL diesel engines as long a few precautions are taken.

No, Biodiesel has a higher lubricity than petroleum diesel and actually extends the life of your engine. No, this is a misconception that has been highly publicized but refers to a few studies funded by big oil companies. The way these studies were able to reach their conclusions was by ignoring the primary product of the grain crusher. The primary product from crushing soybeans is the meal, not the soy oil used for Biodiesel production.

NO! You cannot burn it in a gasoline engine, it is a Diesel Fuel substitute & can only be ran in a compression based Diesel Engine. BioDiesel cannot be spark ignited. Absolutely not, BioDiesel is made in a chemical conversion process where vegetable oil, alcohol are chemically bonded under heat using lye as a catalyst. This chemical conversion process is called "Transesterification.

All diesel engine companies warrant the product they make "engines". They warrant the engines they make for "materials and workmanship." If there is a problem with an engine part or with engine operation due to an error in manufacturing or assembly within the prescribed warranty period, the problem will be covered by the engine company. Engine companies do not manufacture fuel or fuel components & do not warrant any fuel, whether that fuel is BioDiesel or Fossil Diesel.

Most OEM engine warranty programs do not prohibit the use of aftermarket parts or technologies. In brief, the policy of OEM's is that they neither recommended nor endorse aftermarket technologies, however, the use of these products does not automatically void the validity of the engine warranty. In practice, if a converted engine has a failure under warranty, the OEM, in conjunction with technical personnel, make a determination as to the cause of the failure.

Nothing. Simply fill your diesel fuel tank with biodiesel and drive away. If you plan on switching over to pure biodiesel it is important to understand its properties ("Concerns"). To prevent any problems before they occur, ensure that only fuel meeting the biodiesel ASTM specification is used. Based on user experience, no vehicle modifications appear to be necessary for blends of biodiesel as high as 20% biodiesel mixed with diesel fuel.

Pure biodiesel contains 5-8% less energy per gallon than petroleum diesel. Blended fuels obviously will have less of an energy loss. Some literature does indicate that other factors such as more efficient burning and better injection efficiency due to higher viscosities may counteract this energy loss. In any event, users might notice a slight power loss with biodiesel fuels.

Burning BioDiesel that meets the ASTM D-6751 specification in your vehicle is safe. There have been well over 45 million miles of real-world driving with B20 blends in a wide variety of engines, climates, and applications. Our belief is if you are careful & follow the common sense guidelines spelled out in our book, you can make BioDiesel which can meet or come very close to the ASTM D-6751 specification.

Most search engines cover the entire Internet, and searches on these engines may produce many results that are not specific to your drug question. On Drugs.com, you can search by medical condition or by drug, and get the answer you need right away. Searches by drug can be made using the brand name or the generic name of the drug. Searches by medical condition will return a list of medications used to treat that condition.
