What are the immediate cost of biodiesel vs petroleum fuel?
MarleneCece
well when you buy biodiesel it tends to be around $53... and petroleum fuel tends to be much less then that so if you are planning on drinking this then the cheaper one would have to be petroleum fuel :)

Is it safe to mix diesel and biodiesel?
Yes it is safe to mix petroleum diesel and biodiesel. Blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel are designated "BX." Where "B" states that the fuel mixture is a biodiesel blend and "X" indicates the percentage of biodiesel in the blend. For example, common blends of biodiesel in North America include B2 (2% biodiesel), B5(5%), B20(20%), and B100(100%). B100 is also know as "neat," or pure, biodiesel.
What are the disadvantages of using biodiesel?
It cost more than regular fuel.
Four types of fuel currently used in automotive engines?
Hmmm. I'm going to take an educated guess. No guarantees. 1. Petroleum-derived (gasoline and diesel fuel) 2. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 3. Biodiesel (vegetable/organic distillates) 4. Fuel cells (hydrogen) "Electricity" might be considered a fuel, but that's unclear from the question as written. The biodiesel might be considered the same thing as petroleum diesel.
Where can one find information on biodiesel fuel?
Wikipedia provides an excellent encyclopedia style article on biodiesel fuel. Other websites that offer information about biodiesel fuel are the U.S. Department of Energy's Biodiesel page and the National Biodiesel Board's page.
On Hawaii What Companies Fund or Makes Petroleum Oil?
The islands of Hawaii have no natural petroleum deposits, thus they must rely nearly 100% on imported petroleum. The biofuels industry in Hawaii is small. Pacific Biodiesel is making biodiesel in Hawaii to be used as diesel fuel in trucks and cars. The biodiesel is made in part by using waste restaurant oil. I've included a link to Pacific Biodiesel's website. They list the gas stations that sell their biodiesel fuel. They hope to be using their product in Hawaiian Electric's power plant. Biofuels are controversial I've provided two websites, one in favor of biofuels and another one is against biofuels, at least the way it is being implemented in Hawaii.

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.
The Benefit of a Biodiesel Hybrid Car?

What is diesel?
Diesel is a fuel burned in some vehicles. It is produced from petroleum, just like regular gasoline. The most popular/well-known brand of diesel engines is Powerstroke, from Ford Motor Company. Other forms of diesel are BioDiesel. BioDiesel is made out of corn. If you've ever heard of "B20" that means 20% BioDiesel. The mixture is 20% BioDiesel and 80% Regular Diesel. If you hear "B40" it is 40% BioDiesel and 60% Regular Diesel. If it is "B100" it is 100% BioDiesel and 0% Regular Diesel. That is what diesel is....
