IS BIODIESEL THE SAME AS STRAIGHT VEGETABLE OIL (SVO)?

No! Fuel-grade biodiesel must be produced to strict government regulated standards (ASTM D6751) in order to insure proper performance. Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. Biodiesel that meets ASTM D6751 and is legally registered with the Environmental Protection Agency is a legal motor fuel for sale and distribution. SVO cannot meet biodiesel fuel specifications, it is not registered with the EPA, and it is not a legal motor fuel.
