Why Biofuel?
Biofuel is a cleaner burning alternative fuel, produced from any fat or vegetable oil,
such as soybean oil. It contains no petroleum, but it can be mixed with petroleum diesel to
create biodiesel blend, and used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with few or no
modifications.Biofuel is simple to use, is biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of
sulfur and aromatics.
