• Biodiesel can be used in its pure form or blended with petroleum fuel at any ratio.
• Biodiesel greatly reduces dangerous pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbonmon oxide and particulate matter.
• Biodiesel is completely environmentally safe and its production does not create toxic byproducts.
• Biodiesel can be produced from a variety of feedstocks such as soy, cottonseed, canola or sunflower oil, animal fats and waste oils.
