Some Pros and Cons of Biodiesel Fuel
It's easy to visualize that various fuels are a
factor of the future in the vehicle industry.
Also depends on which one you ask, propane,
hydrogen, gas and gasoline (CNG/LNG) or biodiesel
fuel may be the solution. Your guess is pretty
much as good like mine, and I am not writing to
show you my opinion on that I feel are going to
be the fleet fuel down the road. The other fuel
that's presently affecting the bulk of our
shoppers in some form or type is biodiesel.

Biodiesel is a renewable, domestic fuel for
diesel engines once blended with gas and gasoline
primarily based diesel oil. Biodiesel itself is
created from vegetable oils and animal fats, and
has to meet the needs of ASTM D6751 and the EPA.
Once mix with diesel oil, then it will becomes a
biodiesel blend. The total amount of blended
biodiesel fuel is represented by the variety or
share existing in the blend.
Pros of biodiesel

• Less foreign dependency- As you know that U.S. is
  the greatest gas and gasoline client or consumer
  in the world. Since biodiesel is plant based
  mostly we are able to grow ourselves rather than
  hoping on other countries to supply us.

• Clearer than diesel fuel- Low carbon
  monoxide/dioxide also reduces emissions.

• Improved lubricity- helps keep engine components
  moving smoothly since sulfur has been taken out
  of fuel.

• Better smell- Anyone who has been around gas and
  gasoline aware of it isn't the good smell. It
  stays on your garments, it's dirty etc. Biodiesel
  emits a fried food kind of smell, which is really
  simple to deal with.

• Good for Farmers- Another supply of revenue for
  farmers growing the ingredients required for
  biodiesel fuel.

Now that we know the pros, here are the cons...
Cons of biodiesel

• Engine issues- Today's engines are designed to
  control with petroleum gas and gasoline. They got
  to adopt biodiesel.

• Higher value- Currently the higher cost is
  outweighed by the tax credit where applicable,
  however that may eventually depart and it'll be
  dearer.

• Cold weather issues- Biodiesel fuel at low
  temperatures will thicken owing to the upper
  water content and plug fuel filters.

• Less MPG- Whereas not extreme, miles per gallon
  in some fleet management reports are slightly less

I do grasp that with biodiesel fuel our
purchasers appear to run into a lot of problems
then they are done with fuel, particularly at the
winter time. Only the time maybe tell what is
going to be the simplest elevation gas and
gasoline fuel and if it's the potential to take
over because the main supply for fueling our
trucks, or if good old diesel fuel prices are
here to stay.
