MYTH: Biodiesel cannot be used in sub-freezing
temperatures.
Diesel fuel “gelling” in cold climates is a common phenomenon and diesel fuel suppliers, as well as users and diesel engine designers, have learned over time to manage cold flow problems associated with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel #2 in the winter time.
• B5 Biodiesel adopts same properties as conventional diesel.
• B20 Blending with Kerosene
• Utilization of additives to enhance cold flow properties
• Utilization of fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel line heaters
• Utilization of new bio-friendly filters

MYTH: Biodiesel requires more energy to produce than it yields.
Biodiesel actually represents the highest “energy balance” of any transportation fuel. The DOE/USDA lifecycle analysis shows for every
unit of fossil energy required to produce biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained. This figure does consider the cultivation, harvest, raw material processing and fuel used to transport the B100 to its distribution points.
