Diesel fuel, biodiesel, BTL and GTL
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.
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.
Yes, tractors can be modified or designed to use biodiesel as a fuel source. Biodiesel is a renewable alternative to traditional diesel fuel and can help reduce emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. Many modern tractors are already compatible with biodiesel blends.
Biodiesel
It's usually called biodiesel.
Yes, you can use biodiesel in a Renault Scénic, provided that the vehicle's engine is compatible with biodiesel fuel. It's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations regarding biodiesel blends, as some engines may only support a certain percentage of biodiesel mixed with regular diesel. Additionally, using biodiesel may require modifications to the fuel system in older models. Always consult the owner's manual or a dealership for specific guidance.
Yes, you can, by definition, use iso-propanol for biodiesel production, resulting in a fuel with better fuel properties than FAME, but since methanol is the cheapest alcohol, FAME is the most widespread product of biodiesel. And many now existing standards are designed in such a fashion that only methanol can be used if the standards are observed correctly.
No, biodiesel is not a fossil fuel. It is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking greases.
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.
Biodiesel is a type of diesel fuel made by refining ordinary vegitable oil. It can be used in almost any engine that petrolium based diesel can.
A 2004 Toyota RAV4 is not designed to run on biodiesel or a biodiesel blend, as its engine is not compatible with the properties of biodiesel. Using biodiesel or a high blend of biodiesel could lead to fuel system damage and void the vehicle's warranty. It's advisable to stick with conventional diesel fuel if you have the diesel variant or gasoline for the gasoline variant. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic for specific fuel recommendations for your vehicle.
