Power
One of the major advantages is the fact that it can be used in
existing engines and fuel injection equipment (no modification required)
without negative impacts to operating performance.
Fuel availability/economy
Virtually the same MPG rating as petrodiesel and the only
alternative fuel for heavyweight vehicles requiring no special
dispensing and storage equipment.
Storage
Readily blends and stays blended with petrodiesel so it can be
stored and dispensed wherever diesel is stored or sold.
Combustibility/Safety
Biodiesel has a very high flash point (300°F) making it one of the
safest of all alternative fuels.
Production/Refining
The only alternative fuel that can boast of a zero total
emissions production facility
Lubricity
The only alternative fuel that can actually extend engine life
because of its superior lubricating properties.
Environmental Impact
The only renewable alternative diesel fuel that actually
reduces major greenhouse gas components in the atmosphere.
The use of biodiesel will also reduce the following emissions:
- carbon monoxide
- ozone-forming hydrocarbons
- hazardous diesel particulate
- acid rain-causing sulphur dioxide
- lifecycle carbon dioxide
