Can anyone help with Bio Diesal question
Does anyone know ? can you use bio diesel on a diesel generator
You have to be careful.
From a power standpoint, yes, bio-diesel is a good choice - not quite the energy content of regular diesel, but pretty close.
The potential problem is that bio-diesel is not always compatible with all engines. First, bio-diesel, by its nature, is like a solvent, and will loosen any gunk that has built up in fuel tanks and lines from the use of regular diesel fuel. Most people who use bio-diesel for the first time notice that filters clog up really fast. Secondly, some seals may not be compatible with bio-diesel, and may deteriorate. Also, bio-diesel is susceptible to water intrusion, and could contribute to (minor) rusting in the fuel system, if care is not taken.
