Ethanol produced from corn, sugar cane, and other biomasses is blended with gasoline. E10 is a blend of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol. E85 is a blend of 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. Another type of alternative fuel is biodiesel. Biodiesel, designated as B100, is refined methyl ester made from vegetable oils or animal fats and meets ASTM D 6751 specifications. Biodiesel can be used as a pure fuel (B100), or blended with petroleum diesel. The most common blend is B20 (20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel). Biodiesel is also blended in B5 and B10 blends.
