  • BioDiesel is SVO or WVO that has been chemically altered to attain the viscosity properties similar to regular diesel.
    • BioDiesel will run in your engine without any conversion using the existing tank
      • However, there are a few possible WARNINGS: In older vehicles the rubber used in the fuel system may destabilize over time. You may need to replace a few of those hoses with newer material not sensitive to the biodiesel. Older vehicles that have had many miles or years of running Diesel fuels then switching to BioDiesel may experience filter clogging problems from the BioDiesel cleaning effect on the diesel scum accumulation in the tank. If you are using an old vehicle it is recommended that you have your tank cleaned to avoid repeated filter clogging problems.

    • Some vehicles require more elements to successfully run WVO than others, but all vehicles can be made to run WVO with the proper conversion elements.
