Biodiesel

This is really all you need to know when it comes to biodiesel. How it works, why it works, and why it is a great alternative source of fuel.

Unfortunately, it only deals with biodiesel originating with plants and the food we eat. With recent advances in technology, it will soon be feasible to create biodiesel from nothing more than animal and plant waste. Obviously, this presents a solution to a number of problems. By using everything possible from a plant or animal, the cost of production will drop. This, in turn, will make it more marketable. The slight decrease in power and fuel economy will be less important as the fuel itself drops in price. The environment will not be as affected by the emissions becuase less and less petrol fuel will have to be used.

Some tweaks to gasoline engines are required to use any kind of biodiesel. The first link explains all of it in detail. What is note worthy, however, is that diesel engines are good to go off the lot. Not only do they have the ability to run on biodiesel, but they can also run on pure used vegetable oil. Yeah, impressive.
