Bio Diesel
Can I use Bio-Diesel in my Vehicle....?
Many vehicles can take bio-diesel with no modernisation needed. However, it is always best to check with your manufacturer first. It is also recommeded that you use a 50/50% mix for the first few tanks to get your car used to it first.
Biodiesel can be used either on its own (B100) or in blends with fossil diesel eg 10% biodiesel and 90% fossil diesel (B10). Biodiesel can go into most diesel engined vehicles with no modification.
The rule of thumb is that you can use it 100% in vehicles built between 1990 and 2004 and most vehicles after. If in doubt it is better to contact the vehicle manufacturer. A few manufacturers do recommend biodiesel i.e. VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda. Biodiesel is made to European specification (EN14214).
Is it harmful to the air quality...?
Studies have shown that bio-diesel actually improves the quality of air in major cities. With bio-diesel, fewer toxins are released into the air. Because bio-diesel is diluted diesel, there is less crude oil exhaust shot into the sky. In addition, bio-diesel alleviates the smog problems in some major cities like we have never seen before. Bio-diesel is a fairly natural product, utilizing vegetable oil, animal and poultry fats sunshine, water flow, and wind in order to produce an effective fuel. It reduces the amount of pollution autos, trucks, airplanes, trains and all marine craft emit into our atmosphere. Bio-diesel is a renewable, biodegradable, cleaner-burning fuel. Unlike other fuel additives such as diesel, bio-diesel poses no risk to water quality. The use of cleaner-burning bio-diesel reduces the amount of noxious fumes and volatile organic compounds that diesel spews into the air.
