Vegetable Oil And Gas Is Not Biodiesel


Perhaps the biggest misconception about biodiesel is that it is a mixture of
vegetable oil and gas. This is a very dangerous delusion. Whatever you do don't
pour vegetable oil into your gas tank. Don't pour it straight into a diesel engine
or an ordinary engine. It will simply eat away at the rubber in your sealants and
hoses, possibly scald and dissolve some of the metals in your engine part and clog
up your engine with guck that will need removal by an automotive professional.

With gas prices on the rise, many are looking ways of cutting fuel costs by mixing
vegetable oil and gas. This is possible but only if you have a diesel engine or
diesel car that can run on vegetable oil mixed with diesel fuel. Most people who are
looking to cut fuel costs by using a mixture of vegetable oil and gas are really
looking for biodiesel. Not all car engines can run on biodiesel.

However don't think that you can mix just a bit of raw vegetable oil with some diesel
fuel and pour it into your tank. Raw vegetable oil cannot meet biodiesel fuel
specifications, it is not registered with the EPA, and it is not a legal motor fuel.
It bad for the diesel engine or diesel car. Fuel grade biodiesel goes through quite
a bit of processing be for it acceptable to be sold commercially.

To be sold commercially, biodiesel must be described as "fuel grade" by the ASTM
D6751 (American Standards Testing of Materials). The only biodiesel that can
legally be sold or traded is biodiesel that meets the specifications of ASTM D6751
and is legally registered with the Environmental Protection Agency is a legal
motor fuel for sale and distribution. Operationally, "fuel grade " biodiesel
blends perform very similar to low sulfur diesel in terms of power, torque,
haulage and fuel consumption without major modification of engines or
machinery.

Fuel grad biodiesel is registered as a fuel and fuel additive with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and meets clean diesel standards
established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Department of
Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) have designated
neat (100 percent) biodiesel as an alternative fuel. However vegetable oil and
gas, either processed or not is not recognized by any government as a fuel and most
importantly it is not recognized by the national biodiesel board or any of the
manufacturers who make diesel cars and diesel engines.
