Using biodiesel in a conventional diesel engine substantially reduces emissions of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, sulfates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particulate matter.Facts relating to biodiesel:
- Can be used at 100% levels or mixed in any proportion with No. 2 diesel or No. 1 diesel.
- Contains no nitrogen or aromatics.
- Typically contains less than 15 ppm sulfur - Does not contribute to sulfur dioxide emissions.
- Has characteristically low carbon monoxide, particulate, soot and hydrocarbon emissions.
- Contains 11% oxygen by weight.
- Has the highest energy content (BTUs) of any alternative fuel and is comparable to No. 1 diesel.
The bottom line is...
The facts speak for themselves.
