Biodiesel is one of the most thoroughly tested alternative fuels on
the market. Studies have been performed by the
U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Stanadyne Automotive Corp. (the largest diesel fuel injection
equipment manufacturer in the U.S.), Lovelace Respiratory Research
Institute, and Southwest Research Institute. In fact over 50 million
miles have been expended in testing biodiesel during the course of
this research.
This means that you can improve the environment and save money at the
same time using this fuel.
In Europe biodiesel is already added to petrodiesel, in France up to
5% of diesel you get from the pump is biodiesel.
Imagine the effect on the tradedeficit if we would reduce the fossil
fuel consumption with 5%.
That is not all.
Just 5% would keep thousands of farmers in work rather than
unemployed, and it would break the big oil companies stranglehold on
our economy and even better we wouldn't need oil from countries like
Iraq, Iran, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
But I got all carried away....
It all started when I was looking for a cheap alternative fuel I
could use in my diesel engine. The processes described all required a
lot of equipment, and a lot of money to be paid upfront, and even
then 99.9% of it was pure trash.
