Put a B20 biodiesel blend in your tank and hit the road again with a clean burning, renewable fuel that is grown right here in America ...

Why use Biodiesel?
The main benefit derived from using Biodiesel comes from the reduction in emissions generated when using this biodegradable, low toxicity fuel. These emission benefits are gained all the while you are using a fuel that is made from a fully renewable energy source, grown right here in the USA.
Biodiesel reduces carbon dioxide exhaust emissions by up to 80%.
Biodiesel produces 100% less sulfur dioxide than petroleum based diesel, and sulfur dioxide is the major component of acid rain.
Biodiesel reduces exhaust smoke (particulates) emissions by up to 75% so the usual black cloud associated with a diesel engine can be eliminated.
The smell of the biodiesel exhaust is far more pleasant than petroleum based diesel, some times smelling like pop corn or doughnuts if the fuel is made from a waste vegetable oil feedstock.
Biodiesel smells better than diesel fuel so it is a pleasant experience re-filling the vehicle's tank.
Biodiesel is much easier to handle and does not require mechanics to use barrier cream on their hands to protect the skin from cracking or redness.
Biodiesel is much less dangerous to put in a vehicles fuel tank as the flash point of biodiesel is �� 150��C (300��F) as opposed to petroleum diesel which is at �� 70��C (150��F).
Biodiesel degrades about 4 times faster than petroleum diesel after spillage, with most of a spill broken down after just 28 days.
Biodiesel provides significant lubricity improvement over petroleum diesel fuel so engines last longer, with the right additives engine performance can also be enhanced.
Low Sulfur and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel require additives to add the lubricity back into the fuel, biodiesel is a totally renewable additive for this role and complements the use of ULSD.
Biodiesel reduces the classic diesel engine "knocking" noise.
Biodiesel does not require any changes to the existing storage infrastructure so can be used in any tank or storage facility right away.
Biodiesel can be mixed in with existing diesel to create various mixtures like a B5 or B20 blend.
A diesel engined vehicle does not need to be modified in anyway to use biodiesel. |
