Proponents tout the many advantages of using biodiesel in vehicles. Biodiesel is made entirely from renewable resources such as soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed and palm oil as well as waste vegetable oil.
There are kits available to convert diesel engines that have problems with burning biodiesel. In fact studies on engines that were converted from regular diesel have shown that using biodiesel cleans away the deposits and residue the regular fuel leaves behind, leading to better fuel economy. Based on engine testing, using the most stringent emissions testing protocols
This form of fuel makes the best use of the remaining limited supplies of fossil fuels. What makes biodiesel also an ideal alternative is that it is biodegradable and non-toxic. Biodiesel's local resources can be cheaply grown and are excellent for the environment.
While the kits used to make biodiesel can be pricey up front and can cost several thousand dollars for a higher end model it is important to remember that over the life of the processor you will save money as the price of gas continues to rise and you no longer have to join everyone else at the gas pumps. Biodiesel will gel in very cold temperatures.
