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.

Because of the low back pressure limits of gasoline engines, the performance of a gasoline exhaust brake would not be substantial. Because the air intake in a gasoline engine is throttled and the compression ratio is much lower than in a diesel, the performance of a gasoline engine brake would also be insignificant. Because of this we do not offer any retarders for gasoline engines. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Yes 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. See similar questions...

No, Rislone Compression Repair is designed to only be used with conventional 4 stroke automobile engines. See similar questions...

There isn't one, but we will tell you our opinion based on our experiences and observations. We currently own, run and have dynoed the following: 21-24cc Echo, 21, 25, 28 & 32cc McCulloch, 22.5cc Zenoah G2D, G23LH, G23L, G23PUM, 22.5 & 25.6cc J&G top end and billet motor, 25 & 30cc Homelite, MS35 Equalizer, 36cc Quickdraw A4P Decked, MS 42cc Zenoah Compact, MS 60cc 2X Outlaw, 30cc Cobra/Enforcer/Prather.

You should always remove the gasoline from the engine if you plan to store the unit in your basement or transport it in a vehicle. You should never store combustible materials in your home. See similar questions...

Because of the type of fuel as well as the design of the engine itself, a diesel engine operates at lower internal temperatures. This helps lengthen the lifespan of the engine block. In addition, there are no spark plugs and associated ignition parts, which reduces maintenance. A diesel engine also has fewer moving parts, which also helps increase engine life as well as reduce maintenance. And, diesel fuel is often less expensive at the pump than gasoline. See similar questions...

The estimate given by the manufacturer for the gasoline run time can be used for propane also because it is just that; an estimate or guess. Propane only has about 10% less Btu content than gasoline gallon-to-gallon, so the manufactures gasoline estimate will be very close for propane. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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.
