I was just told today that biodiesel will shorten the life of a diesel engine. The person told there a company that runs all of their fleet on biodiesel told him that they have shorter life on their truck engines. Has there been any research on this?
Thanks,
Will
That's completely wrong. If anything, biodiesel will increase engine life due to its massively superior lubricating properties. There have been studies that show a definite increase in engine life and decrease in engine wear with even a b5 blend.
Interesting,
only if a report could be made available rather then a hear say situation .
Ask, and ye shall receive: here's a report showing exactly what I said (it's a PDF).
Great, that is what I wanted to know. It didn't seem right to me but I wanted to check.
