Vegetable Oil - Is this Bio - Diesel?

NO  Bio-Diesel is a fuel which is still misunderstood and often confused with other Bio-Fuels like for instance Ethanol.  The confusion stems from the fact that the base material for both fuels could be vegetable oil.  Bio-Diesel has to be manufactured and produced.

What is Bio-Diesel?

It is a Methyl-Ester obtained through a trans-esterefication with a light Alcohol and fatty substances.  It can be utilized as 100% (B100) but the most popular blends being concentrations of 2% (B2), 5% (B5) and 20% (B20) with regular Diesel.  Bio-Diesel can be run in any existing diesel engine without modification.

Advantages and Benefits of Bio-Diesel:

• It is a completely renewable fuel made from virgin or waste vegetable oil that can be run in existing diesel engines as described above.

• Bio-Diesel is non-toxic.  It is less toxic than sugar and more readily bio-degradable than table salt.

• It reduces the emission of harmful pollutants (mainly particulates) from diesel engines.  Compared to petroleum diesel, pure bio-diesel (B100) produces a 73% reduction in lifecycle CO2 emissions, a 67% reduction in unburned hydrocarbons, a 48% reduction in sulphur oxide emissions and an 80% reduction in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which can cause cancer and emphysema.

• Increases the lubricity in diesel engines, thus enhancing engine life, performance and safety.  Bio-Diesel could be the ideal additive to petro-diesel for maintaining the fuels lubricity, especially with the new ultra low sulfur fuels.

• Blends easily in any concentration with petro-diesel and enables total user flexibility - it can be splash-blended with petro-diesel creating a bio-diesel blend one day, petro-diesel alone the next day and then back to a blend or (B100), tc.
