BioDiesel Information

Emissions Test:

One of our BioDiesel testers recent emissions test from his 2000 Diesel Pick-Up. The emission center thought there was something wrong with his vehicle, because his results were 0 out of 40. There is nothing wrong with his vehicle, he is just using clean burning BioDiesel. View a copy of the report here.

What is B99:

B99 is a diesel blend that contains 99% biodiesel and 1% petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is a cleaner burning, renewable fuel for diesel engines made from oilseed crops (like canola or soybean) or from used cooking oil and other fats. Biodiesel has many benefits. It’s simple to use, biodegradable and nontoxic. Biodiesel is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use as a fuel and as a fuel additive.

B99 has physical and chemical properties similar to petroleum diesel and can be used in most diesel applications with little or no modification to the engine or fueling system. However, there are important differences between B99 and conventional diesel fuels that must be taken into consideration when handling or using B99.

Benefits of BioDiesel

The Environment: B99 delivers the highest health and air quality benefits of any fuel. Although biodiesel can be blended with petroleum diesel at any ratio, B99 delivers the maximum biodiesel benefits of any blend. B99 meets the rigorous quality standards of ASTM D 6751.

Biodiesel is a cleaner fuel than petroleum diesel. Diesel pollution is a serious health threat that has been linked to lung cancer, upper respiratory illnesses, allergies, asthma attacks and death from heart and respiratory disorders. Emissions from diesel-fueled engines include more than 40 air toxics. B99 burns significantly cleaner than regular petroleum diesel and reduces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other toxic carcinogenic compounds found in diesel exhaust. When using B99, you substantially reduce the amount of harmful emissions released into the air.
Emission reductions achieved by using B99:

Workplace Safety. B99 is one of the safest fuels to use, handle, and store because it does not produce combustible vapors and has a higher flash point (300 F) than petroleum diesel. B99 is non-toxic and is five times more biodegradable than diesel fuel. Biodiesel is even used to help clean up oil spills.

Engine Performance. Sufficient fuel lubricity is necessary to reduce equipment wear and premature breakdown. B99 has superior lubricity to petroleum diesel, especially ultra low sulfur diesel. Increased lubricity enhances engine performance and can prolong engine life and decrease fleet operating costs.

Biodiesel has a higher cetane rating (47-70) than petroleum diesel (42-44). Biodiesel’s high cetane rating results in a more complete combustion of the fuel. This improves engine efficiency, can improve the power output of the engine, and nearly eliminates white smoke. This increased cetane also aids in self-ignition of the fuel for easier starting, smoother running engine performance and quieter operation.

What is Needed to Convert to Using B99 BioDiesel:

Filters. B99 has a tendency to dissolve the accumulated sediments in diesel storage and engine fuel tanks. These dissolved sediments can plug fuel filters. If you plan to use or store B99, first clean the fuel system, including fuel tanks, where sediments or deposits may occur. Once you’ve started using B99, make sure to monitor both your vehicle and dispensing filters and change them as needed until the sediment build-up is eliminated.

Are there engine items that should be replaced?
Certain materials are incompatible with B99 and should be replaced. These include natural rubber compounds (usually only an issue with engines made before 1995). The recent switch to low sulfur diesel fuel has caused most original equipment manufacturers to change to components that are also suitable for use with B99. However, B99 suppliers and equipment vendors should be consulted to determine material compatibility.
