Biodiesel is made from mostly soybeans. Diesel is made from oil. Biodiesel is safe to use in any diesel engine. The diesel engine was originally designed to use things like vegetables, oils, and other things for fuel. I have used BioDiesel in my trucks when I was driving over the road and I have used it in my pickup. I never once had a problem with loss of power or performance. Can't wait to see BioDiesel available in more places.

This sounds like a homework question.. there is lots of information available on the net about Biodiesel.. look it up..
There is very little difference in the vehicles... it is primarily the fuel that is different. Biodiesel is a renewable resource and is made from plants and waste (think frying oils from restaurants) and it burns cleaner because it is not made from petroleum. However, it is in limited supply commercially at least..

Biodiesel IS diesel. It is just diesel from another source. Any diesel engine can use biodiesel as fuel. Any. No difference at all. All those big 18 wheeler trucks on the road can use biodiesel. So can your diesel pickup truck or diesel Mercedes or whatever.

You can make 50 gallons of biodiesel in your own home for about $2... that is really about the only difference.

for my area: a diesel ran on biodiesel could be a thank you to flow, then a flex gasoline vehicle. individually...the present hybrids on the industry in my recommendations are a gaggle of crap. which contain the Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Ford get away Hybrid and what no longer. those hybrids have have been given all of it incorrect and seem a thank you to get stupid human beings to pay extra for autos. (a civic hybrid relatively gets appropriate to a similar mileage as a dx civic....and the hybrid costs approximately $6000 extra!) it is nutz. the only motor vehicle i could purchase if it replaced right into a hybrid could be a Honda perception....because it does get stellar gas mileage. yet is the stellar gas mileage isn't in uncomplicated terms from the hybrid engine....its additionally as a results of fact they made the motor vehicle lighter, extra aerodynamic, and no air con. My recommendations on biodiesel are that in case you utilize used cooking oil, you're making a functional gasoline out of something that's seen waste. (whether that's used for many different makes use of.) Or in case you utilize new cooking oil (often reffered to as neat oil) you're utilizing something that's green and grown in this u . s . for gasoline....that's cool. Flex gasoline each and every of ways around is cool. human beings have been merchandising ethanol for years. decrease back in the 70s it replaced into usually happening (in the previous it have been given offered out) or maybe until now in this century it replaced into getting used.
