Important Attributes of Biodiesel
  • High Cetane (avg. over 50)
  • Ultra Low Sulfur (avg. ~ 2ppm)
  • High Lubricity, even in blends as low as 1-2%
  • High Energy Balance (3.2 to 1)
  • Low Agriculture Inputs: Soybeans
  • 78% Life Cycle C02 Reduction
  • Renewable, Sustainable
  • Domestically Produced
  • Reduces HC, PM, CO in existing diesel engines
  • Reduces NOx in boilers and home heating
Tidbits
  • Studies have shown biodiesel has less free water that diesel fuel
  • A B2 blend can enhance lubricity of #2 ULSD from 580 microns to 278. The lower the number, the better.
  • A B2 blend with ULSD will have no significant change in CFPP or Cloud Point results. A B5 blend may raise the CFPP by as much as 4 degrees
  • In cold Winter climates, it is not recommended to blend higher than a B20.
  • Biodiesel is a great to have around the house for cleaning.
