Is it a safe fuel?

Biodiesel is far safer than any petroleum based vehicle fuel. It is less toxic than household table salt! It is easily mixed with petro diesel, either as a fuel blend, or to aid in cleaning up oil spills. It is as biodegradable as sugar (up to 98% in 3 weeks). It has a much higher flash point temperature (150° C) than fossil diesel (58° C) and therefore is much safer to store. It also keeps better than fossil diesel and can be stored for longer. It is also much safer for your engine to run on biodiesel, as it has a much higher lubricity, which helps to prevent engine wear. Other FAQs What is Biodiesel? Can I use it in my engine?
