Running engine - without any modification - on commercially produced biodiesel.
Commercially produced biodiesel is made in large refineries from a variety of fats and oils - soybean oil, canola oil, yellow mustard seed oil, and a variety of other vegetable oils and animal fats. Both new (virgin) and used (recycled) oils are commonly used. In a relatively small number of places, biodiesel can be obtained at a local fueling station, just like gasoline or petroleum diesel. In most places, biodiesel has to be obtained in bulk from a refinery, from a local distributor, or, by special arrangements, from a local fleet that has its own biodiesel storage tank and pumps. Michal gets his biodiesel (B-100) by special arrangements with NOCO Bioproducts in 55-gallon drums. NOCO Bioproducts currently only sells B-20 in large quantities to fleets. For small quantities of fuel, please contact Michal at michal@buffalobiodiesel.org.
