Biodiesel

Since my post on Tuesday was a hout the use of ethanol, i think it inly fit to talk about biodiesel today. Biodiesel is blended with regular diesel at about 20% biodiesel and 80% regular diesel. This blend has proved to be very good. It does not show a significant decrease in fuel efficiency. However the only problem that may pose a problem is that sometimes, biodiesel can gum-up the fuel injectors. This seems like a problem that could be fixed with a little more research. Like ethanol biodiesel can help reduce our dependance on foreign oil. Overall I believe that biodiesel is a fuel with great potential.
