Can you use biodiesel in a car?
If it has a diesel engine you can.
Can a Kubota diesel tractor use biodiesel?
Yes
What fuel does the Jeep 3.0 Diesel use?
Diesel fuel, biodiesel, BTL and GTL
Are converters required for biodiesel?
Any diesel engine can run on quality biodiesel. Older engines even better. New engines can loose their warranty if you use biodiesel, so please check.
Why don't more people use biodiesel in their diesel trucks?
It would be great if more people used biodiesel in the diesel trucks! However, at least in Michigan, you can not legally sell the biodiesel you make at home and many people do not want to put the time and effort into making it themselves. There are a few negatives to using biodiesel in diesel trucks. First, there is limited availability of biodiesel fuel. Next, the cost is much higher for biodiesel. Also, fuel economy is off by at least 10%. Additionally, biodiesel may be a concern in cold weather and in older vehicles.
Can tractors be made to use biodiesel?
Biodiesel, made from vegetation and algae, is used for powering vehicles and machinery instead of using diesel, which is a fossil fuel causing global warming.
Can you use bio-diesel in diesel tractors?
Yes it can. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine, but it isn't usually used for tractors because it has a lesser energy yield than normal diesel.
Why would the use of biodiesel help prevent acid rain?
Biodiesel has 8% lower overall sulfer oxide emissions compared to normal diesel fuel, and sulfur oxides are major components to acid rain.
Would it harm a diesel engine if you combined regular diesel with bio diesel?
Factory-made biodiesel is sold as "B-such-and-such." The most common is B20. The number is the percentage of biodiesel in the mix--the rest is petroleum diesel. Answer: it works fine, go for it. As long as the bio diesel is clean and doesn't have water in it. it should be fine. Use caution with the home brew, filter it good and don't run more than 20% bio diesel below freezing without tank heaters it gells way too easy. There are several different types of bio diesel, make sure the kind you are going to use will work in in a factory fuel system or if you will need a kit installed on your vehicle to properly burn the fuel. Also, adding on to his answer, the first time you use the biodiesel you might want to change your fuel filter. The biodiesel will clean out your gas tank and may clog up your filter.
What kind of fuel can be used in cars instead of diesel?
Gasoline is the most common type of fuel used in cars in North America because cars there use an internal combustion engine. A diesel motor can also use Biodiesel.
Is it true that biodiesel can ruin my engine?
Biodiesel most certainly does NOT ruin your engine. Most engine manufacturer in the world approves the use of biodiesel in their engines, unless of course your engine is not made to run on diesel fuel. Gasoline engines should not be ran on Biodiesel.Actually, if you don't change out your fuel pump, injectors, and fuel lines to accommodate the much thicker biodiesel fuel, it CAN ruin your engine.
Does biodiesel slow down global warming?
Yes, the use of biodiesel slows down global warming. Biodiesel fuel is carbon neutral, that is, it releases no more carbon dioxide into the air than it takes out. Using biodiesel means that a similar amount of fossil fuel diesel is not used, so that amount of carbon dioxide is not added to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
