What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is described as a cleaner burning diesel replacement fuel. It's identified chemically as fatty acid alkyl esters.

Importantly, it's made from natural, renewable sources. The text gives examples of these sources, including new and used vegetable oils and animal fats.

Like regular petroleum diesel, Biodiesel is designed to be used in compression-ignition engines.

The text also mentions that to find out more information about Biodiesel, and specifically if it's suitable for a particular vehicle, you should refer to that vehicle's owner's manual.
