Will Biodiesel damage my engine?

Green Car Company
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.

Will it damage my engine?

LPG, L.P.G., Liquefied Petroleum Gas, FAQ
On the contrary, the LPG conversion will reduce engine wear. LPG burns cleaner than petrol. This means less emissions out of the exhaust and less carbon deposits in the engine. These deposits are very abrasive and can contribute to engine breakdowns. The oil and spark plugs will also last longer. See similar questions...

What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
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).

Can I use biodiesel in my existing diesel engine?

Frequently Asked Questions
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. See similar questions...

Will I get as much power from my engine with biodiesel?

Frequently Asked Questions, Biofuels in Kentucky, University...
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. See similar questions...

Will shifting clutchless and without lifting lead to engine damage?

GPL Frequently Asked Questions
You don't need to clutch; the game has a semi-automatic clutch which disengages automatically when you shift. However, the engine can be damaged by over-revving. You can and probably will damage the engine if you speed shift; you must lift out of the throttle a little just after you touch the shifter switch, so that the engine does not zing to redline. Once the next gear engages, you can floor the throttle again. You don't need to use the clutch, which is really only for starts. See similar questions...
