I dont use it, but if I had a diesel I certainly would. Anything to help support American Farmers instead of only Arab & American Oil Tycoons. Gas at $1.61 a gallon is enough for me to switch.

Biodiesel is something less than 10% of the U.S. diesel consumption. Most is used up by local government and local subsidized metropolitan busing. Its not a wide spread publicly available fuel. Nope, not here in Texas either, that I've found.

I've been doing some research on biodiesel. I am very interested in. I just cant find much useful information on it. It is easy to produce but more expensive than diesel. I am wondering if it would be a profitable business. Help out the local farming community.

I have run it personally, unfortunately not continuous, but have run it through a variety of engines, and I can't say it produced more power, but certainly not less. This was also summer time, from other posts I found here, it may present some possible filter problems, but I can't verify this. I would be happy to run it if I could. I have seenethanol blamed for problems that actually aren't due to the ethanol itself, but the crap run through the system prior. I have had many say ethanol plugs up inlectors and such, but in actuality, it is cleaning out the varnish and crud from prior fuels.AS far as corrosion, it doesn't, at worst will dry out natural rubber seals. So I wouldn't be surprised if biodiesel gets the same bs rap, seems the oil companies like to create rumours to keep us buying theirs, and the automtive manufacturers seem to be in on it too.
