As an alternative fuel, biodiesel would seem to be a very good alternative to fossil based fuels. Research and testing is underway to reduce biodiesel production costs and address cold weather problems.
Biofuel is also bio-degradable so a biofuel spill is not the environmental crisis that an oil spill would be. You can also use vegetable oil that has already been used. Water accelerates microbe colonies which shorten the life cycle of the paper filter elements that result in premature failure of the fuel pump.
These are all renewable resources that are grown on farms all across the country. Raw vegetable oil cannot meet biodiesel fuel specifications, it is not registered with the EPA, and it is not a legal motor fuel. In cold place weather, water freezes to form ice crystals which accelerate the gelling of the residual fuel.
There could come a day when we all produce our own fuel right in our backyards and gas pumps are gone. As a conclusion, the benefits of Biodiesel fuel have great values.
