PostHeaderIcon can we use biodiesel instead of diesel in generators and boilers?



In which generator and boiler.

If you are asking about generator manufactured for operation on diesel, then no. You can’t replace diesel COMPLETELY with biodiesel without some modifications in engine. Though a blend of diesel and biodiesel is already in use in india (in unmodified diesel engines).

In haryana roadways buses 10% biodiesel is mixed with diesel and this percentage will gradually increase in near future.

PostHeaderIcon What would you like to ask?Can we use biodiesel instead of diesel in generators and boilers?



No I would not like to ask the ONE option you put forth. BUT a fact is……..
The Bio Diesel thing is almost over. It was/is a scam that was sold by the most creative of shady salesman. They sold the idea as a great way to go only to get kickbacks from sales within the Bio fuel community. Not only that but when this first started techs like me knew it was actually harmful to diesel engines causing a greatly shortened engine life.
The second any government sector started using bio whatever it hit the nightly news in a flash. BUT when they found that it was costing more and wearing the engines down the media said nothing, it just withered away as a foot note in history.
But MAN what a scam sales man had with this one. Who would not like the idea of going down to your local grease pit restaurant and getting free grease(a.k.a Vegetable oil) and making it run your vehicle FOR FREE!!! BUT what they didn’t tell you is the costs of the equipment to and the time it took to make the grease usable. OK then there were the guys who bought the equipment and made the grease usable for you BUT the cost per gallon is higher than regular diesel. Total scam that cost ya big time in every way.
Then you have the soybean stuff. Still and will always be more expensive than fossil diesel. Its a nice try BUT in the end COST is the deciding factor.
