- Biodiesel functions in the engine the same as petroleum Diesel with reduced emissions. Biodiesel can be substituted for compression-ignition (diesel) engines with essentially no engine modifications, and maintains the payload capacity and range of Diesel.
- In a mixture with low-sulphur diesel, biodiesel has superior engine lubricating qualities. And biodiesel fuel has detergent properties. These properties keep your fuel injection system clean, delivering superior environmental and vehicle performance benefits.
- Biodiesel and Ethanol contain oxygen that stimulates the more efficient combustion of petrol fuels in petrol and diesel engines (a cleaner and more efficient burn). In doing so renewable fuels reduce harmful petrol and diesel exhaust emissions that pollute the air we breathe and pose a risk to human health.
- Any Biodiesel produced in Australia must first meet the Biodiesel Standard, and subsequent blends with mineral diesel must meet the Australian Diesel Standard.
