Boosting Your Biodiesel Efficiency
Overview
Whether you own a tractor, truck, or boat, you might find the buzz around biodiesel as a "new" solution for improving mileage, enhancing lubricity, or reducing pollution somewhat puzzling. In reality, biodiesel has long been used as an additive to address engine lubrication and combustion issues, particularly in large farm machinery during winter.
The Benefits of Biodiesel
Biodiesel enhances vehicle machinery lubrication far better than petroleum diesel. For years, scientists and farmers have observed substantial improvements in lubricity when biodiesel is combined with conventional diesel fuel. Even levels as low as one percent can boost lubricity by up to 65%.
With the growing focus on global warming, biodiesel and its additives are now in the spotlight. Regular diesel isn't ideal for combating global warming, as it releases soot, carbon, and sulfur. If you've ever seen the exhaust from a bus, boat, or tractor, you'll notice these emissions. Adding biodiesel to fuels in such vehicles can significantly reduce these toxic emissions and also cut down on noise, thanks to better lubrication.
Advanced Biodiesel Solutions
The effectiveness of biodiesel has led to the development of innovative biodiesel additives for both diesel and gasoline vehicles. A leader in this field is Fuel Boost. Their specialized formulas, like the Fuel Boost Diesel Formula, help remove soot from valves and intake ports, clean engine carbon build-up, and reduce thick black smoke output.
Biodiesel's role is crucial for diesel engines, especially those with rotary and distributor-type fuel injection pumps. In these systems, the fuel itself lubricates moving parts, making biodiesel invaluable for enhancing machine efficiency.
Biodiesel in Different Systems
Other diesel fuel systems, including unit injectors, unit pumps, and in-line pumps, also require well-lubricated diesel fuel. Adding biodiesel blends (usually 20% or lower) to regular diesel is common. Biodiesel, composed of methyl esters from soybean oil, has superior scuffing and wear resistance compared to traditional diesel.
Safety and Standards
To ensure safe usage, make sure your biodiesel additive meets the ASTM specification for pure biodiesel (ASTM D 6751) before blending with petroleum-based diesel. This helps prevent operational issues in your machinery.
By understanding and utilizing biodiesel efficiently, you're not only enhancing your vehicle's performance but also contributing to a greener planet.
