We're sorry, but this page requires a browser with at least basic support for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Any relatively modern browser (Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 6+) should work.  In the meantime, we have tried to design this site to "fail gracefully" so that, in theory, you can still at least read the content, even if it isn't pretty and as well-structured as we would like.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but if you are still using such an old browser, you are also likely at high risk for viruses and other destructive invasions of your computer.  You really should upgrade even if just for your own online safety and security.

Biodiesel

True Biodiesel

True biodiesel is the result of a transesterification reaction performed on SVO or WVO. The initial oil molecules involve three fatty acids chemically bonded to a glycerol molecule; reaction with methoxide results in breaking the fatty acids off of the backbone, separating them. The methoxide forms esters with the fatty acids, and these molecules act as fuel.

An advantage to using biodiesel (bd) over SVO or WVO is that you don't need to convert your engine to a different type -- bd will work in a standard diesel engine. You may also blend bd with regular diesel in various ratios. This also means that ifyou run your car on bd around home but trek across country, you are not required to find bd stations to keep your car going; you can use commonly found fuel as well.
