Many of our customers utilize different fuels in their diesel engines. These fuels include kerosene, jet
fuels, bio-diesel and vegetable oil blends. Diesel Care and Performance supports the use of these
fuels and their development in our domestic market. We support several organizations that are
aggressively pursuing these alternative fuels. We have also participated in the development of fuel
systems specifically designed for the use with Bio-diesel and/or vegetable oil.
Below are some frequently asked questions regarding alternative fuels:
I'm new to the diesel market, what is Bio-diesel?
Biodiesel is produced from any fat or oil such as soybean oil, through a refinery process called
transesterification. This process is a reaction of the oil with an alcohol to remove the glycerin, which is
a by-product of biodiesel production. Fuel-grade biodiesel must be produced to strict industry
specifications (ASTM D6751) in order to insure proper performance. Biodiesel is the only alternative
fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments. Biodiesel that meets ASTM D6751 and is legally registered with the Environmental
Protection Agency is a legal motor fuel for sale and distribution.
Does the use of these fuels void your warranty?
Some of these fuel are "home brewed" and do not adhere to any standards regarding lubricity, cetane,
or water content. Any failure that is attributed to the use of fuel that is not to minimum standards is not
covered under the warranty of Diesel Care Inc.
Does your pumps/injectors contain gaskets and seals set up for Bio-diesel?
Currently there are no standards regarding the use of bio-diesel as pertaining the use of gasket/o-ring
materials. Many people have suggested the use of Viton material (Viton™ (Fluoro-elastomer), as a
good material source for these gaskets. The reason is that it is an excellent oil and air resistance both
at low and high temperatures. It also has very good chemical resistance. Diesel Care and
Performance currently build alls our injection components with all available Viton™ material. There are
some systems that contain parts that are not available in this material. There include special cut o-
rings and some manufacturer specific seals. In these instances we use the highest grade materials
available to rebuild your fuel system.
What about running raw vegetable oil?
Many vegetable oils have similar fuel properties to Diesel fuel, except for higher viscosity and lower
oxidative stability. If these differences can be overcome, vegetable oil may substitute for #2 Diesel fuel,
most signicantly as engine fuel or home heating oil. For engines designed to burn #2 diesel fuel, the
viscosity of vegetable oil must be lowered to prevent poor atomization of fuel, incomplete combustion,
carbon buildup and ultimately damage to the engine. Many enthusiasts refer to vegetable oil used as
fuel as Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) if it is oil that was discarded from a restaurant or Straight Vegetable
Oil (SVO) to distinguish it from Biodiesel. Raw vegetable oil cannot meet biodiesel fuel specifications. It
is not registered with the EPA, and it is not a legal motor fuel.
"The fact that fat oils from vegetable sources can be used may seem
insignificant today, but such oils may perhaps become in course of time of the
same importance as some natural mineral oils and the tar products are now.”
Rudolph Diesel 1912
Inventor of the diesel engine
insignificant today, but such oils may perhaps become in course of time of the
same importance as some natural mineral oils and the tar products are now.”
Rudolph Diesel 1912
Inventor of the diesel engine
As of 2000, the United States was producing in excess of 11 billion liters of waste
vegetable oil annually, mainly from industrial deep fryers in potato processing
plants, snack food factories and fast food restaurants. If all those 11 billion liters
could be collected and used to replace the energetically equivalent amount of
petroleum (a rather utopical case), almost 1% of US oil consumption could be
offset.
