I NEED BIODIESEL FACTS!!!! Will someone help me?
Okay, for my animal science class, I am doing a report and speech on biodiesel. I wrote the report, but I can't seem to make my speech 4 minutes or more. I have searched the internet, but I can't seem to find anything. I need some facts about the pros and cons of biodiesel. Maybe some fun facts. I need help by tomorrow!!!

I had to do a science current event project on this too
- it cost more than normal diesel
- they are making a biodiesel refinery at the Port of Greys Harbor
- it was invented in Seattle, WA
- it cost about $3. 29 a gallon
-it is made from pure vegetable oil
- it was discovered in the late 2003's but was secretly being held
- it cost $0.26 more than normal diesel
- its a cleaner burning fuel that prevents less pollution
- its better for the enviorment
- it is used for big machinery and trucks
- it is a renewable alternative to petroluem based fuel
- the biodiesel refinery will be the largest plant in the entire US
- it is not selling very well due to the competitive price of normal diesel
All these facts are 100% accurate because it come off a science report i did (an A+)and all the information came from "the seattle times" newspaper. i hope this helped!

Biodiesel is a fuel for the diesel engine that is extracted from plants...
The pros of it is they are cheaper and emits a cleaner exhaustion from its combustion.
The cons of it is the effect it gives on your engine, slow to burn and leaves a sludges inside that needs immediate attentions every month or else your engine will just gobble up your biodiesel without much power.
With its pros and cons... the new diesel offered in the Gasoline station would fare better in every way, as long as you maintain the engine regularly with oil change.

everyone has overlooked this con..... if you use 100% bio in your engine, it will dry out the gaskets... so you would have to ratio the bio to regular 90/10
