Biodiesel quality
—
Blends
containing more than 5% and up
to 20% biodiesel must meet the
latest version of ASTM
specification D7467 (Biodiesel
blend, B6 - B20). Biodiesel is an
emerging product, and its quality
can vary widely. To reduce the
risk of poor quality fuel, we
recommend that biodiesel
users purchase biodiesel blends
from a BQ-9000 certified
marketer. A listing of certified
marketers can be found at
www.bq-9000.org. If there
are questions about the
biodiesel-containing fuels you
are using, contact your fuel
supplier.
Notice:
Certain driving patterns
are not compatible with biodiesel
use. It is the operator
’
s
responsibility to ensure that
biodiesel in the vehicle
’
s tank
does not lead to engine, fuel
system, or exhaust after
‐
treatment system damage.
We neither encourage nor
discourage the use of biodiesel
blends for vehicles. As a renewable
fuel, biodiesel provides some
environmental benefits. However,
biodiesel has unique properties and
needs to be handled differently than
diesel fuel. Its use presents
additional risks and may not be
appropriate in all situations. Certain
vehicle operating modes increase
these risks and should be avoided.
Read further to determine if your
driving habits are compatible with
the use of biodiesel.
.
Biodiesel fuel quality degrades
with time and exposure to high
temperature much more quickly
than conventional diesel fuel.
More frequent refueling provides
the best opportunity to have a
supply of fresh fuel.
Owners who have very low fuel
usage or who have vehicles
stored for extended periods of
time should avoid the use of
biodiesel. Storage at hot ambient
temperatures will accelerate
biodiesel degradation.
When vehicles will be stored for
extended periods of time
(greater than one month), they
should be run out of biodiesel to
below one-quarter tank, refueled
with conventional Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel fuel, and driven
several miles before storage.
.
Biodiesel gels sooner than
conventional diesel fuel at cold
temperature, and biodiesel fuel
requires proper blending for
winter time operation.
