Biodiesel

Produced from domestic renewable resources, biodiesel contains no petroleum but it can be blended with petroleum to create a biodiesel blended fuel.

It is made thru the chemical process of transesterification where glycerin is separated from fat or vegetable oil. This process creates two products: methyl esters (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerin - a valuable bi-product - which can be used in soaps and other products.

B20, 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel is the most common blend in the United States. B20 provides substantial benefits while avoiding cold weather performance and material compatibility issues that are associated with B100. It can be used in diesel engines with little or no modifications. It is simple to use and is essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.
