What types of vehicles can use biodiesel?
Biodiesel blends up to B5 can generally be used in any diesel-powered vehicle without modification. However, the greater the concentration of biodiesel, the more consumers should monitor the performance of their engines. Biodiesel has strong solvency and can degrade more rapidly than petroleum diesel. These factors can lead to clogged fuel filters and injector fouling. Use of biodiesel blends like B5 and B10 are not normally strong enough in concentration to cause these types of problems. Consumers who use B20 or greater blends up to B100 should monitor performance closely, especially during the early stages of use. Always check your ownerâs manual or with your engine manufacturer for guidance prior to using biodiesel at any level and take all appropriate precautions.
