Performance and Usage
|
Stanadyne Automotive Corp., the largest diesel fuel injection equipment manufacturer in the United States, supports, "...the use of a low blend of biodiesel in the entire U.S. diesel pool," for lubricity. |
|||||||
| Diesel engines rely on fuel for lubricity. Biodiesel provides superior lubricity using B2 biodiesel increases fuel lubricity up to 66%. Other advantages of biodiesel include: Longer equipment life. Lower maintenance costs. Less equipment downtime. Protection against fuel injector and injection pump failure. |
||||||||
| U.S. Department of Agriculture tests show below freezing temperatures can be tolerated by B20 blends and lower. Biodiesel has the highest BTU of any renewable fuel (in the range between No. 1 and No. 2 diesel). |
