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.

Yes, possibly more due to its superior cetane rating. Biodiesel does contain 5% fewer BTUs per gallon than petroleum diesel, but burns more completely than petroleum diesel. Therefore, you get more energy from the fuel with less pollution. Partially burned fuel creates waste and more air pollution.

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.

BioDiesel has better lubricating properties. and as a result your diesel engine will last longer. BioDiesel actually runs cleaner and smoother and quieter than #2 diesel in your engine. It does lower your fuel mileage around 8 to 10% and has a similar effect on pulling power when pulling heavy loads otherwise you likely will not notice it. Since home made BioDiesel costs 75% less than diesel fuel, the relatively small 10% loss in mileage is more than acceptable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warranty on the Allison 1000 Series™ in GM pickups is administered by the Chevrolet or GMC divisions of GM, not directly by the Allison division of GM. Please consult your GM dealer regarding questions about warranty coverage.
