Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil or animal fat based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically-reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat (tallow)) and alcohol.

Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable and waste oils used to fuel converted diesel engines.

Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel.

"Biodiesel" is standardized as mono-alkyl ester.

What modifications do I need to make to my diesel to run on biodiesel?
Q. I have a 1985 ford f250 diesel. What modifications (if any) do i need to use the commercially available biodiesel fuel from the feed store/co-op?
Asked by Franklin V - Sun Jul 8 04:07:40 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I found an answer to the question 'Can I use biodiesel in my existing diesel engine?' on the offical Biodiesel site...'Biodiesel can be operated in any diesel engine with little or no modification to the engine or the fuel system. Biodiesel has a solvent effect that may release deposits accumulated on tank walls and pipes from previous diesel fuel storage. The release of deposits may clog filters initially and precautions should be taken. Ensure that only fuel meeting the biodiesel specification is used.' However, under Fuel Fact Sheets Ford, along with many other manufacturers, issues an official statement regarding biodiesel use in their engines. Congrats on wanting to join the fight against Global Warming!

How would you convert your gas car to biodiesel?
Q. I saw a news spot on CNN this morning about a shop in Kansas City converting SUV's and cars to biodiesel, but I didn't get the name of the shop so, I wanted to know if any of you know of a kit that would allow the same thing?
Asked by eldwill - Tue Nov 20 13:10:33 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can't! You need a diesel engine. After that, there are no conversions needed. Straight vegetable oil does require conversions of the engine though. No gasoline engine can take biodiesel.
