Benefits

Biodiesel, including REG-9000TM biodiesel, offers a combination of benefits that separate this renewable option from all other fuels.

Easy to use…        

  • Runs in any diesel engine without modification
  • Enhanced safety during refueling due to low conductivity
  • Included in Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) standards to meet a portion of the annual Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) acquisition requirements
  • Get the truth – look at all of the myths and facts related to biodiesel

Better for your vehicle…

  • Up to 65% increased lubricity – especially important with reduced lubricity from Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
  • Increased lubricity can keep your engine cooler, running quieter and operating longer
  • Increased cetane aids self-ignition of fuel and allows for easier starting, smoother running engines and reliable operation
  • More than 15 Original Equipment Manufacturers have endorsed biodiesel blends including Cummins, CAT and Detroit
  • An independent test showed that using as little as a B2 blend more than replaces the lubricity lost when using ULSD
    • Look at a rundown of lubricity facts
    • Save significant amounts of money by eliminating need for lubricity additives

Better for you and the environment…

  • REG-9000 biodiesel is virtually free of sulfur – the main cause of acid rain
  • Offers reduced pollutants: biodiesel emits less than half of the smog standard diesel fuel – keep your operation running within emission regulations with the first fill
  • Testing backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that biodiesel is ten times less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as a test sugar
  • A renewable fuel generated with renewable resources
  • Energy efficient – offers a gain of 3.24 units of energy
