Modifications

No modifications are needed to any diesel engine or diesel fuel system. Please read section on rubber below.

Rubber

20 months update no reports of any damage to rubber using 100% (B100) biodiesel using potassium in the production.

Mix and winter

Can be mixed with any amount of crude diesel however we used 100% biodiesel all year with no problems even in the winter at -14c

First time using biodiesel

Tanks should be run down to about last quarter of crude diesel then filled to half tank with biodiesel to give a 50/50 (B50) blend that should run OK if runs OK on 50/50 future fuel can be 100% (B100) biodiesel.

Filling tanks

Do not fill tanks in open when raining.

When filling with biodiesel keep an eye on fuel gage to prevent overfilling if you are not using fuel station automatic cut off when full fuel pump.

High performance vehicles engines & will your engine run on biodiesel, most do

Before you buy a processor we can supply you with biodiesel to try. Some high performance vehicles engines will not run on biodiesel.

Shelf Life

Use biodiesel before the end of it's shelf life which is six months from production date as it's plant matter.

Our experience

We have produced biodiesel to much better quality than standard and biodiesel that will not freeze so we have the experience to help you make your own biodiesel.

We can get our standard 100% (B100) biodiesel to remain unchanged down to -17c when it starts to dull (cloud point) before blocking (freezing) at -18c. We also have achieved with certain plant oils NO cloud point or freezing using 100% biodiesel that can be used in the coldest places on earth. Not all our biodiesel needs or can achieve the above temperatures. To keep our biodiesel liquid when cold we use potassium and 100% oil to produce biodiesel.
