Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a crop derived fuel most often used as a supplicant to petroleum-based diesel. It is easy and inexpensive to produce, can be produced through re-processing by-products such as cooking oil and can also be produced from sustainable crops such as soy, tallow, palm, coconut and canola oil. It is far cleaner burning than petroleum-based diesel and the presence of even 10% biofuel keeps engines cleaner, raises fuel efficiency and raises the octane of the diesel.
