Biodiesel - The Top 5 Reasons

By Joseph Then


Biodiesel is favored over diesel fuel or any other fuel for several reasons. Foremost, the shift to Biodiesel is a good option if you intend to address the rising prices of diesel fuel.

The following are top five (5) reasons why you should shift to Biodiesel to run your vehicle.

Reason One - Biodiesel contains less water

All fuel is mixed with water at different levels. However, the actual amount of water that ends up in the fuel you put in your car can differ. If there is an excess amount of water component, this may prove to be harmful to your vehicle.

In the case of Biodiesel, water mixture is minimal thus it is much better to use.

Reason Two - Biodiesel cost less

Do-it-yourself Biodiesel production is possible making its price affordable . Compared to regular diesel, Biodiesel's pump price from gas stations is even cheaper. Biodiesel can better serve your vehicle since it can reduce expenses in your vehicle's service and maintenance routine.

Reason Three - Biodiesel is better for your vehicle

Biodiesel burns cleaner. As such, it promotes less wear and tear on your engine. Over time you will see you are saving money due to needing less repairs and service.

Reason Four - Biodiesel uses renewable sources

Biodiesel taps on a renewable fuel source and this is a very important issue. Many people simply do not realize that the current fuel sources are being used up and eventually will dry up. Once that source is used up, the supply is gone. And when it is gone, it is GONE!

Utilizing renewable energy sources, like Biodiesel, will ensure that the chances of running out is minimal. Biodiesel is made from natural ingredients that can be made again and again.

Reason Five - Biodiesel causes least harm to the environment

One major contributing factor to high pollution level is the high degree of vehicle emissions. The high volume of vehicle has bearing on the pollution level. Regular fuel is dirty and gives off many pollutants. Biodiesel burns clean and gives off lesser pollutants.

Using Biodiesel or even a Biodiesel blend helps to cut down on pollution. That is good, animals and humans who are breathing in the polluted air. Anything in excess that can be reduced is favorable.
