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.


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.

What vehicles can you biodiesel?

Most diesel-powered vehicles can run on biodiesel without major modifications. Biodiesel is designed to be a “drop-in” replacement or blend for petroleum diesel, so it’s widely compatible. ✅ Vehicles that can use biodiesel: Cars and SUVs with diesel engines (for example, many models from Mahindra, Tata, Ford, and Volkswagen). Commercial trucks and buses, which often benefit the most because of high fuel consumption. Agricultural machinery such as tractors, harvesters, and irrigation pumps. Construction equipment like excavators, loaders, and cranes. Marine engines used in boats and ferries. Generators and other stationary diesel engines. 📌 How it works: Blends like B5 or B20 (5% or 20% biodiesel mixed with diesel) are commonly used and safe for most engines. Pure biodiesel (B100) can be used in many modern diesel engines, but older engines may need rubber seals or hoses upgraded to prevent wear. 🌱 The advantage is that biodiesel reduces emissions, is biodegradable, and often improves engine lubrication. In India, companies such as My IndiFuels make biodiesel accessible through pumps, dealerships, and bulk delivery for transport fleets. 👉 In short: If a vehicle runs on diesel, there’s a good chance it can run on biodiesel too—either as a blend or even fully, depending on the engine and manufacturer guidelines.


What is the iodine value of biodiesel?

The iodine value of biodiesel gives an indication of the degree of unsaturation in the fatty acid chains present in the biodiesel. It is typically lower for biodiesel derived from saturated fats or oils, and higher for biodiesel derived from unsaturated fats or oils. Knowing the iodine value can help assess the oxidative stability and cold flow properties of biodiesel.


Where do you get biodiesel?

How can biodiesel help the planet?

Biodiesel is replenishable where fossil fuels aren't. Biodiesel is made from biomass such as corn, rapeseed, sugarcane and even algae. The CO2 produced from burning biodiesel is indirectly reabsorbed by the plants that will make the next batch of biodiesel. Fossil fuels just release CO2.
