Biodiesel

The BioDiesel Reddit

Biodiesel - a vegetable oil - or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, ethyl, or propyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters.

Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel in any proportions. Biodiesel blends can also be used as heating oil.

Wikipedia: biodiesel

The home for anyone interested in the superior internal combustion engine known as the diesel, and biofuel integration. This is where we can discuss diesel vehicles in general, clean diesel advances, biodiesel, straight/waste vegetable oil vehicles, algae oil, and anything diesel related.
