Biodiesel is made through a refinery process of transesterification in which vegetable oil such as soybean, cotton seed, canola, and other vegetable oils are made into fuel that must meet the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. The final processed vegetable oil is referred to as B100 Biodiesel (100% processed vegetable oil). This processed oil can be mixed at any percentage with diesel fuel and used in vehicles and engines that run on diesel fuel. A popular mixture in the market today is B20 biodiesel (20% processed vegetable oil and 80% diesel fuel). The big advantage of using a biodiesel mixture over diesel fuel alone is that the biodiesel in the mixture cleans and lubricates the engine and burns more efficiently and therefore is safer for the environment. It is recommended that in the initial use of biodiesel in an engine that has only run on diesel fuel is to change the filter after a week of biodiesel use. The reason is that the biodiesel will remove all the deposits and impurities that are present in the engine that have accumulated from the time diesel fuel has been used. After that, the biodiesel can be used regularly with the filters changed as normally done. |
