It is totally interchagabele in any ratio with regular diesel with no engine modifications. Rudolph Diesel first designed the diesel engine to run on peanut oil. Biodiesel is by far the lowest hanging fruit in the fight against GHG's (climate change) in the transport sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861605.post-74147394867883526912018-01-08T18:42:35.021-05:002018-01-08T18:42:35.021-05:00Very interesting, but biodiesel is 20% renewable a...Very interesting, but biodiesel is 20% renewable at best? 80% has to be regular diesel?Yvan Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810932887954689424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861605.post-7723827478480074162018-01-08T10:40:08.396-05:002018-01-08T10:40:08.396-05:00Use the school buses in every community to drive t...Use the school buses in every community to drive the demand, Supply will follow.
