Alternative Fuels
- Biodiesel
- Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced
from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum,
but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a
biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines
with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable,
nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. For more Biodiesel

vehicle, convert an existing conventional vehicle to an alternate fuel
vehicle, or purchase domestic renewable fuel to operate an alternate
fuel vehicle.
