	Biodiesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biodiesel is a clear amber-yellow liquid with a viscosity similar to petrodiesel (the industry term for diesel produced from petroleum).
		Biodiesel is a better solvent than petrodiesel and has been known to break down deposits of residue in the fuel lines of vehicles which usually run on petroleum.
		Petrodiesel vehicles have generally not included catalytic converters because the sulfur content in that fuel destroys the devices, but biodiesel does not contain sulfur.

	Waste vegetable oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They run poorly on unmodified vegetable oil, with a risk of damage - the fine ports of injectors can be clogged by carbon which forms from the slow or incomplete combustion of heavier fractions of vegetable oil, while the injection pump may suffer premature wear due to the fuel's relatively poor lubricating properties.
		Similar problems were noted when the levels of sulphur in UK petrodiesel were reduced to counter emissions.
		Such engines often have two fuel tanks, one for petrodiesel, biodiesel or a mixture of the two, for use in starting the engine, the other for the vegetable oil which is the main fuel.

		Biodiesel is non-flammable and non-explosive (flash point 150ºC for biodiesel and 64ºC for petrodiesel).
		Diesel engines were altered to utilize the lower viscosity of the fossil fuel (petrodiesel) rather than a biomass fuel (vegetable oil).
		Fuel filters catch petrodiesel particulates when biodiesel is used, so clogging is not an issue once the precipitates have been removed (In a study at a U.S. military base, a biodiesel blend was used as a replacement for heating oil at housing on the base.

		Diesel is generally simpler to refine than (A volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons (hexane and heptane and octane etc.) derived from petroleum; used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines) gasoline and often costs less (though price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true).
		Biodiesel is a non- (Fuel consisting of the remains of organisms preserved in rocks in the earth's crust with high carbon and hydrogen content) fossil fuel alternative to petrodiesel.
		It can also be mixed with petrodiesel in any amount in modern engines, though it is a strong (A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances) solvent and can cause problems in some cases.

		In some cases the use of petrodiesel, especially #2 petrodiesel (has not been observed with #1), leaves a deposit in the bottom of fueling lines, tanks, and delivery systems over time.
		A 20 percent blend of biodiesel with petrodiesel raises the freezing properties approximately 3' to 5' F (pour point, cloud point, cold filter plugging point).
		Solutions to biodiesel winter operability problems are the same solutions used with conventional #2 petrodiesel (use a pour point depressant, blend with #I diesel, use engine block or fuel filter heaters on the engine, store the vehicles near or in a building, etc.).

		It is one of the possible candidates to replace fossil fuels as the world's primary transport energy source, because it is a renewable fuel that can replace petrodiesel in current engines and can be transported and sold using today's infrastructure.
		A growing number of fuel stations are making biodiesel available to consumers, and a growing number of large transport fleets use some proportion of biodiesel in their fuel.
		Unlike petrodiesel, it is biodegradable and non-toxic, and it significantly reduces toxic and other emissions when burned as a fuel.

	Biodiesel, an Alternative to Petrodiesel for Motor Vehicles
		As a motor fuel, it may be used 100% pure or combined with petrodiesel in proportions as low as 2%.
		Frequently biodiesel is combined with petrodiesel (presumably to ensure greater compatibility with unmodified engines and to make it operate within the temperature specs of these motors) in proportions usually signified with a code which includes the percentage.
		Biodiesel has a lower energy density than petrodiesel and because it is denser fuel, the statistics vary slightly depending on whether you want a figure of energy per gallon or per pound.

		Petrodiesel is comprised of short, mid, and long carbon chains.
		In new engines, BioDiesel fuel consumption is similar to petrodiesel’s, while for in-use engines, fuel economy substantially improves and is maintained due to continuous cleaning effect of BioDiesel.

	Transport Canada - TDC - TP 14106E - Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This project was initiated by the Transportation Development Centre of Transport Canada to evaluate the potential of biodiesel, or biodiesel blends with regular petroleum diesel fuel, as a suitable alternate fuel for medium-speed diesel engines used by Canadian railways.
		An important caveat for consideration by the railway sector is that any alternate fuel must be transparent vis-a-vis existing fueling arrangements, not diminish locomotive performance, be price-competitive with petrodiesel, and not have a negative influence on other important pollutant emissions such as the oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
		To accommodate the high cloud point of neat biodiesel, a blend of 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petrodiesel (designated as B20) would be the most appropriate for Canadian transport applications.

	Not From Toronto: The Goodness of Grease
		What is going to be more common in the next couple of years are petrodiesel/biodiesel blends such as B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel), which essentially gives you more bang for your petrochemical buck, while at the same time allowing existing diesels to run a blended mixture with zero modifications, and burn much cleaner to boot.
		The only thing preventing you from pouring a bottle of Mazola into your diesel tank is viscosity, or how thick the oil is. Vegetable oil is considerably thicker than petrodiesel, which is a problem when the engine tries to spray the fuel in a fine mist to allow it to burn properly.
		Of course, you also have to shut down on petrodiesel, otherwise your engine's fuel system will be clogged the next morning with solid vegetable oil.

	Using Biodiesel
		Because of the solvent properties in Biodiesel, it may cause the release of accumulated deposits inside the fuel tank and fuel lines from years of petrodiesel use.
		In fact, studies have shown that there is a substantial reduction in the amount of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and particulate matter over emmissions that Petrodiesel emits.
		This is due to several factors, but essentially, it has to do with the BTU equivalent of Biodiesel when compared to Petrodiesel.

	Resurgence issue 223 - Perspectives: BIODIESEL by Terry de Winne
		Biodiesel is an ecologically sustainable transport fuel produced from vegetable oils, either directly from crops such as rapeseed, sunflower and soybean, or from recycled vegetable oil which has already been used for cooking.
		The environmental impact of organically derived biodiesel is substantially lower than that of petrodiesel.
		US EPA tests, comparing biodiesel to petrodiesel in unmodified engines, showed biodiesel to produce 50% less carbon monoxide, total particulate matter down by 30%, virtually zero sulphur emissions, aldehydes down 30%, nitrous oxides up 13%, hydrocarbons down 95% and aromatic compounds down 50-85%.

		Since I live where the winters get cold (-40 C once in a while) I'm going to have to figure out what to mix my biodiesel with once that time arrives (or, actually before that time arrives I guess).
		My reasoning was that since most petrodiesel is winterized by adding kerosene I might as well just use that rather then regular diesel.
		It was not a big deal for me because who wants to run a bulldozer when it is 0 anyway but this year my daily driver will be a diesel so I will have to figure out something to prevent that.
