“(By using biodiesel fuel), there’s about a 50 percent reduction in carbon monoxide emissions, a 70 percent reduction in particle pollution and it totally eliminates sulfate pollution,” he said. “From an environmental standpoint, that’s really good.” - Tim Rehder, environmental scientist representing EPA.
Joseph Jerome makes his own biodiesel or as he calls it “liquid sunshine”. He started making it when prices of diesel soared to $3.31 a gallon. Now he makes his own that powers his car, truck, tractor, and generator for a measly $.70 a gallon. Plus he even has some of the local restaurants paying him to to take away their used oil! I think that’s the definition of a win-win situation. Sure the biodiesel will gel if gets too cold, but that’s why others mix biodiesel with normal diesel. It achieves a lower gel point while still retaining most of the increased lubricating qualities of biodiesel. So! Good for the engine! Good for the earth!
