Testing has confirmed that biodiesel can provide sufficient levels of fuel lubricity, even at blend levels below 1%, in current on-road diesel fuel. Testing is underway to determine specific blend levels that would be required in ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm). Replenishing the loss lubricity that will be apparent in future diesel fuel can be accomplished with conventional lubricity additives either on the market today or in the process of being formulated.

The time proven remedy is to add a gallon of kerosene for each 10 to 20 gallons of fuel to the tank, then allow it to sit long enough for the kerosene to diffuse into the fuel. In weather below -20 degrees F, one gallon of kerosene for 10 gallons of fuel will keep things moving, but fuel economy will be reduced. Kerosene now has red dye which a DOT inspector will assume is off-road diesel. Be prepared for a hassle if you are checked.

NO. Biodiesel is the term for the pure biodiesel, B100. Bioheat® fuel is conventional heating oil containing biodiesel. NO. Biodiesel is produced from raw vegetable oils or animal fats, but the oil or fat must go through the chemical reaction (called transesterification) to make it into biodiesel and be tested to make sure it meets D 6751 before it is blended with heating oil.

Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive is a liquid blend of organic chemicals in a petroleum base. The ingredients of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive include detergents, combustion catalyst, chemicals that reduce the surface tension of the fuel oil, oxidation inhibitor and deposit modifiers. Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive is easily miscible and fully compatible with all varieties of fuel oil.

Stanadyne's Performance Formula. Stanadyne, being a major manufacturer of fuel injection systems in America has formulated an all season additive and has been proven by an independent research institute to out perform all others on the market.

Ans :Biodiesel can be used as a pure fuel or blended with petroleum in any percentage. B20 (a blend of 20%) by volume biodiesel with 80% by volume petroleum diesel) has demonstrated significant environmental benefits with a minimum increase in cost for fleet operations and other consumers.

Biodiesel can be used in any internal combustion diesel engine. Biodiesel can either be used in its pure form known as B100, or it can be mixed at any level with regular petroleum diesel. Some common mixtures are 20% biodiesel with 80% petro-diesel (B20) and 5% biodiesel with 95% petro-diesel (B5).

Estimates of how much of the Earth's land-based production is used by the human population worldwide range from a low figure of about 5% to a high of over 30% (this includes food, animal fodder, timber and other products, as well as bioenergy). The higher estimates include a lot of wasted material and inefficient activities such as forest clearance, as well as losses of productivity due to human activity.

Biodiesel is a great solvent and it will degrade natural rubber fuel lines, which are sometimes found in older vehicles. All newer cars have synthetic rubber fuel lines, which have no problem transferring Biodiesel. If you have an older vehicle and run Biodiesel you can determine if you have natural rubber fuel lines because the lines will appear to be sweating after a few weeks of use. Simply replace your fuel lines with synthetic rubber ones and your vehicle is ready to go.

Many people claim that Biodiesel will increase your fuel economy by 5%. It is possible that this is true due to higher lubricity and a higher BTU content than #1 Diesel fuel. We have no data to back these claims. Generally speaking Biodiesel offers you the same power, consumption, horsepower, torque, and hauling rates as conventional diesel only with far less environmental consequences.

Diesel fuel quality is declining throughout the world, and we expect the trend to continue. In fact, a recent survey suggests that 70% of diesel fuel sold at service stations does not meet the SAE standard for diesel fuel lubricity. The three leading factors are: - crude oil sources, - refining techniques, and - blending techniques.

Emissions results do vary between engines and test equipment, but in our tests on an early 80's VW turbodiesel, opacity (which is used as an indicator of particulate emissions) was reduced by about 50%, compared to premium diesel fuel. Other EPA regulated emissions were about the same for all the fuels tested. Power was equal to premium diesel that test. We find no difference power while driving, between diesel and SVO/WVO, as long as the filter is clean and the SVO is heated.

It is advised that Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive be added to the main storage tank just before fresh fuel is transferred to it because the agitation caused by the transfer of the fuel to the tank is enough for the additive to get homogenously mixed in the fuel oil.

Yes. The 2005 Montana Legislature created fuel tax incentives for Biodiesel producers, licensed distributors, and retailers selling Biodiesel. 15-70-601 House Bill 756: Provides 10 cents per gallon incentive on each gallon increase of Biodiesel production over the previous year.

Seattle Biodiesel exceeds the strictest quality standards set by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), ensuring a technologically advanced, reliable, and stable fuel that distributors trust. We produce premier alternative fuels crafted from the finest possible oilseeds stock, while our proprietary production technology allows us to produce a higher quality fuel with a longer shelf life in faster time.

When reviewing the high costs associated with other alternative fuel systems, many fleet managers have determined biodiesel is their least-cost-strategy to comply with state and federal regulations. Use of biodiesel does not require engine modification unless the engine was built before the mid-1980s, which means operators keep their fleets, spare parts inventories, refueling stations, and skilled mechanics.

Biodiesel is a solvent and, as such, it will dissolve rubber. High sulfur (normal) petroleum diesel does this too, but at a much slower rate. The solvency of biodiesel acts much like the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) that is now being phased in as the diesel standard. Since 1993, diesel engines and equipment have been re-designed, utilizing synthetic rubber with ULSD in mind.
