How does Soy Energy emissions compare to petroleum diesel fuel emissions?
The use of Soy Energy in a conventional diesel engine results in substantial reductions of unburned hydrocarbons, corbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to emissions from diesel fuel. This means there is nearly 50% less hydrocarbon emissions than diesel fuel. In addition, the exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates from bio-blended diesel fuel are essentially eliminated compared to diesel. Is Soy Energy used as a pure fuel or is it blended with petroleum diesel? 5% is the recommended blending for Soy Energy with diesel fuel. A blend of 5% Soy Energy with 95% by volume petroleum diesel has demonstrated significant environmental benefits with a minimum increase in cost for fleet operations and other consumers.Is bio-blend diesel fuel the same thing as raw vegetable oil? NO!!! Fuel-grade-bio-blended diesel fuel must be produced to strict ASTM industry specifications in order to insure proper performance. Soy Energy meets ASTM and is legally registered with the Environmen
