Why don't car manufacturers use bio diesel engines?
There is no such thing really as strictly a "bio-diesel" engine. ANY diesel engine can burn bio-diesel. ANY diesel engine can ...in fact...right this minute, burn used cooking oil straight out of the fryer. It is more a matter at this point of having a supply of bio derived diesel and an infrastructure to blend/produce and distribute it. There is a technical issue in that the currently available bio-diesel causes carbon buildup in the engines it is used in, resulting in poorer performance, lower fuel mileage, and higher maintenance costs that negate the benefits of using bio-diesels in the first place. This is because the additives used in regular production diesel that keep carbon buildup to a minimum, lubricate the fuel system and do other beneficial tasks are diluted or are non-existent in most of the currently available bio-diesels. This will become less of a problem when the aforementioned production facilities are more common.
How can the Pongamia tree help slow global warming?
Oil made from the seeds of this tree, known as pongamia oil, can be used to produce bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is a renewable source of energy, a diesel oil made from vegetation, so its burning does not contribute to global warming.
Who discovered biofuel?
The history is a little vague; but the two prominent people who first "discovered" and applied bio-diesel were George Washington Carver and Rudolf Diesel. Rudolf Diesel was the creator of the Diesel Engine and he ideally envisioned the diesel engine being used with a bio-fuel source. On a side note, he actually presented a diesel engine running on peanut oil in the Paris Exhibition in 1889. George Washington Carver worked with Henry Ford to create a bio-diesel engine; however, at the time petrol-diesel was more easily accessible and cheaper than to produce a bio-diesel fuel source.
Is bio diesel and bio fuel are same?
Bio diesel is a bio fuel. A bio fuel is a fuel made from a renewable biomass source, usually from some kind of vegetation.
What does Bio-Diesel do?
Bio Diesel is basically a cleaner diesel. Sure it works the same way, but it's cleaner and doesn't clog up the environment with toxins. Not many people use bio diesel. That's why it's so amazing when you see someone with a vehicle that uses bio diesel.
How is bio diesel renewed?
You grow more 'bio'.
What cars run on virgin oil?
There's someone crushing virgins and extracting their oil?? I assume you mean Virgin *Olive Oil,* and no cars run on any bio-oil, but we do use oils to make bio-diesel. Any vehicle that normal runs on diesel can be made to run on bio-diesel, but seeing as there are very few diesel engine cars on the road as is, I'm finding that it's very hard to find a car that runs on bio-diesel. Mostly, it seems, buses are getting the conversion.
