BENEFITS OF BIODIESEL 

Maybe you're wondering if Biodiesel is as good as Petrodiesel? The answer is, it's BETTER in almost every aspect.

Some of the benefits of Biodiesel-  

• It's made from Renewable Resources such as corn & soybean

• Biodiesel reduces our dependence on oil from foreign countries and contributes to our own society

• Requires no wars & lost American lives the way petrodiesel does

• Burns up to 90% cleaner than conventional diesel fuel made from fossil fuels. Substantially reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter in exhaust fumes.

• Sulphur dioxide emissions are eliminated (Biodiesel contains no sulphur)

• Considered an Alternative fuel under EPACT

• Biodiesel is plant-based and adds almost no CO2 to the atmosphere

• The ozone-forming potential of Biodiesel emissions is nearly 50% less than conventional diesel fuel

• Pleasant smelling, both in its raw form, and when burned

• Biodiesel is Safe. It's considered non toxic and greatly reduces the amount of cancer causing emissions vs petrodiesel

• Biodiesel also has a much higher flashpoint making it much less likely to ignite in a car wreck or spill

• Biodiesel is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar

• Biodiesel can be used straight in warmer weather (B100) or blended with petro diesel in any ratio and requires no engine modifications to use.

• Increased Lubricity. Biodiesel has greatly increased lubricating properties vs petro diesel, even in very small quantities.

• Higher cetane rating

• Savings - Biodiesel made at home can be made for around $1.00 a gallon 

No Loss of Power
Today's Diesels are sophisticated engines capable of amazing power and as an owner, I'm sure you don't want to sacrifice power just to burn Biodiesel. Well you don't have to. Biodiesel is basically capable of making as much power as petrodiesel. It actually has a little less power, but because it is a much better at lubricating you end up with the same power. And because it lubricates better, your engine should last longer too.

ASTM D6584 Lab Tests for Summit Enterprises LLC & EZBiodiesel Click HERE to see a certified ASTM lab test for Free & Total Glycerin done by Fuel Only Laboratories on our fuel.  The fuel was B100 made from used vegetable oil that titrated at about 2.  We ran a single stage Transesterification process and our fuel tested WELL BELOW the allowable ASTM limit for Free & Total Glycerin, the first time we ever tested it.  Free & Total glycerin is the most likely to fail with poor design, or taking shortcuts & we passed easily.   This would not be possible if you take shortcuts, or with a processor that was not designed properly.
