With
increasing prices in petrol we seem to see an industrial revolution to seek
better fuel that cost lesser. Most drivers want something that is better than
fuel oil. The majority want a cleaner and safer fuel. Almost all of them want
such fuel without paying more than expected.
Since
then, the industry has seen a number of alternative fuel being introduced and a
couple of them have gathered a following. Biodiesel is one of the popular
alternative fuel that offers the general public a good fuel alternative.
Biodiesel
is Different
One
of the nice things that makes Biodiesel so different from the other
alternatives out there is that there is no need to buy a special car or even
modify your current car to use Biodiesel. If you have been using diesel as fuel
then you can Biodiesel.
It
is very different from what you normally put into your car, but it's always
something good. Biodiesel runs the engine just like any other diesel which is
the main reason why you can use this fuel in your engine just as you would
regular diesel. In addition, it is a known fact that Biodiesel burns cleaner,
so less wear and tear and less pollution. Biodiesel is also safer with less
chance of explosion or fire.
Blended
Most
commercial Biodiesel sold today are blended version. This means is that
Biodiesel and regular diesel are mixed at various levels. The reason is that
Biodiesel at its purest form does not perform well with traditional rubber
parts found in vehicles. You see, hoses and other rubber parts in the car will
disintegrate over time with consistent use of Biodiesel. Mixing Biodiesel and
regular diesel into a blend will help to correct this common issue.
B100,
which is pure Biodiesel, is also sold commercially. For those who have removed
the rubber parts in their engine will get the best benefit from using pure
Biodiesel. Whatever it is, it's a fact that blended Biodiesel still wins over
the straight diesel fuel and it can be used in any diesel-driven car safely.
Confusing
Myths of Biodiesel
There
are quite a number of myths about Biodiesel that give people excuses not to use
it. The known issue of Biodiesel breaking down rubber parts has been blown up.
It is cheap when it comes to replacing the rubber parts compared to the
problems that may arise from using regular diesel in your car. Biodiesel is
much cleaner and so you will not experience greater wear and tear. That means
that you will have lesser servicing done to your vehicle.
People
are starting to see that the best choice is still Biodiesel. Despite all the
criticism and negative reports, Biodiesel is a proven alternative fuel for
drivers today.
