Biofuel

bio fuel effectiveness is determened by the levels of sugars and starch, they are what really ferments. look up "fermentation" on google.

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.

Yes Bio-fuels are renewable source of energy.

It is true that every mole of bio-fuel will yield loss less energy than burning regular fuel but important thing is bio-fuel don't produce harmful gases when burnt.

By improving technical know how we can make machinery that will run efficiently on bio-fuels.

The CFPP of biodiesel made from normal canola oil is -5 degree centigrade as per Institute of Petroleum method IP 30.

Their sustainability right now is somewhat questionable, but as new research improves the processes to grow and refine them, they will be someday.

The biomass is a renewable source of energy. It is produced from plants, thus until the people grow crops it will never be exhausted. On the other hand, some of the fossil fuels like crude, if used at current rates, will be depleted completely within the next 100 years. Also in case you hadn't noticed, biomass uses up plants so we gonna run out of oxygen!!!

The disadvantages of biodiesel include a decrease in horsepower and a large amount of land devoted to growing the crops to create the fuel. Another disadvantage includes the fact that the fuel gels in cold weather.

Biodiesel begins with virgin vegetable oils (such as soybean, rapeseed, palm, or coconut oils), animal fats and fish oils, or recycled cooking oils. Manufacturers rely on a chemical reaction called "transesterification" in which they react the chemically acidic vegetable oils with methanol (a base) and add a catalyst. Fat molecules in the oil are broken into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) or alkyl esters.

Fecal material is a biomass and is renewable.

The 1994 Subaru Legacy was designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline.

It cannot use diesel fuel or biodiesel fuel in its engine !!

The most available alternative fuel in the US for gasoline is ethanol. This engine should easily tolerate ethanol up to a 10% ethanol/90% gasoline blend. You should be careful about using ethanol in high concentrations because it can be corrosive to some engine parts. Therefore, you should not use high ethanol content blends (like E85) unless you engine is designed for it. Another reason not to use ethanol in high concentrations is that it contains less power per gallon than the gasoline that it replaces. Using it in high concentrations will substantially reduce the performance of your car. In the future, you may be able to use butanol as a substitute for gasoline. It has several advantages over ethanol such as...

- Almost the same power content as the gasoline it replaces.

- Not corrosive.

Unfortunately, ethanol wins hands down when it comes to which one is cheaper to make. Butanol is currently more expensive than the gasoline it replaces. That may not remain the case much longer. Look for technological advances in producing butanol that should reduce its price to be competitive with ethanol.

You often only find biodiesel in the Midwest or areas where corn is a big market. Biodiesel is made out of corn and that's why. Biodiesel will make your diesel engine get better gas mileage just so you know.

If it has a diesel engine you can.

biodiesel is better for the environment but doesn't perform as well at cold temperatures (around 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees ferinheight).

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.

If all fuel sorces turned tio Biofules, farmers would get more money from selling them to petrol companies, so food prices will go up.

the price is quite different in different countries

The species, unimaginatively labelled KKU-S2, was found on the surface of a freshwater pond at the university, and was quickly identified as a promising source of alternative fuel. Speaking about the discovery, team-leader Dr Ratanaporn Leesing said, "We can extract oil from this species. Its properties are fit for biodiesel production. Within two days, the number of this alga can double, and within a week or two we can extract oil from it"

Yes

biofuel is not currently being used however it is a project that is still being worked throughout many countries.

Yes! Diesel, kerosene and gasoline are really the same thing except that they have different octanes. Diesel is the lowest refined gas then kerosene then your different octanes of gas. So, to make the octane the same as kerosene you simply mix the right amount of gas with diesel and voila, you have kerosene. I think u can use a lower octane than kerosene but NEVER put anything of a higher octane than kerosene! Yes!

2.25 gallon. The price varies all over.

Biodiesel is not used widely because it requires a lot of organic matter, which is not always readily available.
