What Is Biodiesel * Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made by a chemical reaction of alcohol and vegetable or animal oils, fats, or greases. Through a refinery process called transesterification, the reaction removes the glycerin -- a by-product that is not good for your engine -- which can be made into soap. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel at any level. Even a blend of 20% bio- and 80% petroleum diesel will significantly reduce carcinogenic emissions and gases that may contribute to global warming. Safer and Cleaner Fuel * Biodiesel offers fleet operators a safer, cleaner alternative to petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is made from renewable fats and oils, such as vegetable oils, through a simple refining process. Pacific Biodiesel produces biodiesel from used restaurant fryer oil. One of the main components for fryer oil are soybeans, a major crop produced by almost 400,000 farmers in 29 states. * Biodiesel is recognized as an... See less

Posted in: * Alternative Fuels * Green Myth-Busting * B100 * B20 * Biodiesel * biodiesel myths facts * green myth-busting Some added info for “MYTH: Biodiesel will cause a noticeable power decrease.” This can vary based on individual engines. Biodiesel burns at a slightly different rate and temperature than regular diesel. This can alter engine characteristics slightly. Some modern engine computers can adapt for this difference and you will see almost no difference in power and torque. Other engines may not, and that is where you will notice the small percentage decrease. There have been people who have tuned their engines specifically for biodiesel and actually seen increases in torque and power output based on the longer burn cycle of biodiesel. What I have read mostly points out that it very much depends on the engine. In my personal experience with a 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD and a 2002 Volkswagen TDI is that the added lubrocity of the fuel offsets the loss in power somewhat, and B20... See less

Pacific Biofuel is now delivering biodiesel to the greater Central Coast! We offer the best prices and highest quality of this clean, renewable fuel made from vegetable crops grown on U.S. farms. Biodiesel can be used as a pure 100% fuel (B100) or mixed in any ratio with petroleum diesel such as B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petro-diesel). Lower emissions, greater engine longevity and improved performance are a few of the many benefits associated with this non-toxic plant based fuel. This technology is available NOW, as it was BEFORE PROHIBITION! Biodiesel is perfect for small and large industries, fleets, maritime, agriculture, heavy equipment industries, generator companies, commuters and more. Our top quality fuel can be used in any diesel engine, in most cases, with NO modification. Few Americans would deny the need for U.S. energy independence from foreign oil. Petroleum produced in the Middle East costs far more than money. Air and water pollution, asthma, certain cancers, respiratory... See less

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- With rising gas prices, diesel cars and SUVs are gearing up for a major American comeback after a brief appearance 25 years ago. But if all you remember are the smell and noise, you might not recognize the new leaner, cleaner versions. Back in the early 1980's, 80 percent of the cars Mercedes-Benz sold in the U.S. were diesel powered. General Motors sold diesel Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs. See less

Petroleum Diesel - Petroleum diesel is refined from petroleum for specific use in diesel engines. This is the diesel you find at your local gas station or truck stop. Because it comes from petroleum, it produces carbon dioxide, pollution, particulates and sulfur emissions and increases reliance on foreign oil. | Biodiesel - Biodiesel comes from renewable plant sources, such as oils from vegetables, peanuts, soy beans, canola/rape seeds, hemp seeds and some grains which are domestically and abundantly available. More specifically though, biodiesel refers to plant-derived diesel that has been subjected to the process of transesterification, a chemical modification of ordinary vegetable oil which makes the fuel meet high industry standards (ASTM D6751) for usage in diesel engines [see notes below] and prevents it from solidifying at colder temperatures. Sometimes biodiesel is mixed with petroleum diesel in different proportions and still sold under the name "biodiesel," even though the... See less

It was an honor for me and fellow Berkeley Biodiesel Collective member John White to appear on KPFA with Biodiesel: Growing a New Energy Economy author Greg Pahl in September 2006. One thing I said on the air is that I want my biodiesel to come from waste oil. It is true that some promising work has been done with algae, but for now waste grease is the most efficient feedstock for biodiesel. Soy has been the most used feedstock in this country because the soy industry established the Biodiesel Board when they saw the potential to create a new market for their soy oil. But there are many more oil-rich crops than soy, and not many people I meet like the idea of GMO soy as the source of our fuel. It’s a step up from petroleum, but is not our ideal. The right oil crop depends on the region where it is grown. The issue of feedstock is central to biodiesel’s sustainability, and I hope you will join me in supporting the Biodiesel Council of California’s work with farmers on developing locally... See less

Product Description Using vegetable oils as a fuel for home heating and transportation is a hundred years old: Rudolf Diesel's original engine was operated on plant oils due to the lack of fossil fuels. Later, plant and animal oils were converted into a petrodiesel-compatible fuel known as biodiesel: a clean, low-carbon fuel. In the early 1980s, home brewers discovered they could transform waste restaurant fryer oils into crude biodiesel and use it in automobiles at 100% concentrations at one quarter the cost of petrodiesel. Yet automotive and engine manufacturers insist that late-model vehicles may be damaged when run on high concentrations of biodiesel and may not honor engine warranties where biodiesel fuel has been used. Biodiesel Basics and Beyond aims to separate fact from fiction and to educate potential home, farm and cooperative manufacturers on the economic production of quality biodiesel from both waste and virgin oil feedstock. The book includes: Detailed processes and... See less

Practically speaking, the use of biodiesel should make a lot of sense to the diesel operator, owner and fleet manager. It can be splash blended into a B20 blend making it virtually seamless, B20 qualifies for compliance with a number of federal and state mandates, and it requires virtually no different handling considerations than regular petroleum diesel. At a 20% blend it will substantially help reduce most emissions, including the offensive engine exhaust and irritating nature of the fumes and smell associated with petroleum diesel. At a 20% blend it will also help increase the life of the engine because of the higher levels of lubricity and cetane. Biodiesel is safe to handle and is biodegradable. In fact, in California it is registered for use in remediation following oil spills. Biodiesel requires virtually no engine modifications or engine replacements while still allowing the existing diesel engine to meet many mandated programs. This gives the diesel operator, owner or fleet... See less

Biodiesel fuel and fuel additives are derived from organic, renewable feed stocks. They are readily biodegradable and less toxic than ordinary table salt. Moreover, because Biodiesel is oxygenated and has a much higher flash point than petroleum diesel, Biodiesel engine exhaust is "easier" on humans, smelling much better with much less sootiness, and it is safer for the environment as well. The C16-18 methyl esters that comprise Biodiesel are considered readily biodegradable because of their chemical nature. This is confirmed by extensive studies done by several leading universities and test facilities. Test data reveals that experimentally determined oxygen demand and carbon dioxide production (calculated as a percent of theoretical values) for Biodiesel is more beneficial than for petroleum diesel fuels. Moreover, C16-18 methyl esters do not show any microbiological inhibition up to 10,000 mg/L. In a study performed by the University of Idaho, Biodiesel placed in water where... See less
