Will we ever run out of Biodiesel production capability?
Green Car CompanyYes arable land is a finite resource. Most estimators of Bio-fuel production potential estimate that at max capacity our agricultural assets could feed this country and fuel 30-40% of our vehicles with bio-fuels. It will take us a very long time to reach this potential but if we did it would undoubtedly be one of the largest contributors of renewable energy in our country.
What is your production capability?
Mures Gourmet ProductsWe currently produce about 40,000 litres of UHT Seafood Soups per annum. By only sourcing bones from our own boat we are able to produce 200,000 litres. We will be able to produce more by sourcing bones from our new fishing vessel (Mures Dianna) producing up to 260,000 litres in our current premises.
Will Biodiesel production disrupt our food production?
Green Car CompanyIt is possible but not for a very long time. Potential Biodiesel crops here in Washington include mustard seed and canola oil. These crops are currently grown in crop rotations, but because there is no economic use for the seeds they are simply tilled into the ground rather than harvested. These crops are grown to increase soil fertility and the yields of the primary crop. Waste crops like these are grown all over the country and offer huge potential of Biodiesel production.
What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel.org - Home Heating OilBiodiesel 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).
Can I run BioDiesel in a Gasoline Engine?
FAQ about Making and using BioDiesel Fuel - OfficialBioDiese...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.
Which vehicles are suitable to run on biodiesel?
Filtertechnik biodiesel frequently asked questionsThe quality of the finished product is largely dependent on the quality of the base feedstock, upstream treatment procedures, reaction efficiency, as well as the washing/polishing methods used. Source quality WVO wherever possible. Follow the bio-reactor production guidelines to the letter. Allow for adequate storage and settling processes. Drain off water at regular intervals. Over-stretching the capability your reactor is not advised.
Can I run my car on Biodiesel?
Biodiesel - Community Fuels - Makes SenseIn California (and depending on your budget) you are limited. Right now, there are only a handful of diesel cars available to U.S. consumers. Volkswagen sells its Beetle, Golf and Jetta in diesel versions, and Mercedes sells the E320 sedan in diesel. Chevy, Dodge, Ford and GMC sell diesel pickups. New commercial diesel vehicles are currently available for businesses. Other new diesel vehicles will become available in California at the end of 2006.

What do I have to do in order to convert my diesel vehicle to run biodiesel?
FAQ - GoBiodieselNothing. If you have an older car the first time you switch to biodiesel, after about 20 hours of engine operation you should change the fuel filter. In much older cars (older than 1997) you may need to change the fuel hose, as biodiesel may soften and eventually cause older rubber fuel hoses to degrade. Newer hoses do not degrade. This is a simple operation that can be done in minutes with a screwdriver.
What will happen to my vehicle if I run it on unwashed and unfiltered biodiesel?
Filtertechnik biodiesel frequently asked questionsYes, it would be advisable to do so to prevent any potential claims against you. In addition to the above list of problems that contaminated biodiesel may cause, a few more problems could occur, namely: bull; Free methanol in biodiesel corrodes aluminium & zinc and results in a low flash point. High possibility of failure due to corrosion of fuel injection equipment.
