What are the environmental benefits of
using biodiesel?
Biodiesel contains oxygen. This allows the fuel to burn more completely. A
B20 blend will reduce hydrocarbon and particulate matter emissions 20% to
40%. Biodiesel does not contain any sulfur. The utilization of a B20 blend
will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 20%. Sulfur dioxide combines with
water in the atmosphere to form acid rain.
What is the Cetane number?
The Cetane number is a measure of drivability. Higher cetane numbers
promote good cold start properties, quieter operation and minimize white
smoke.
Will I loose power using Biodiesel?
B100 contains 8% less energy per gallon than Petroleum diesel
No. 2. A loss of fuel economy will occur using a B100. Using a B20 blend
will decrease fuel economy by 1%, using a B2 blend will not reduce the
fuel economy at all.
What is the minimum blend allowable
under EPAct?
20% blend
