Biodiesel Benefits
- It greatly reduces vehicle emissions and those from industrial processes running boilers and burners.
- Every dollar of fuel produced locally is one dollar of fuel we don’t need to import.
- Is a far better fuel for your engine, providing far superior lubricity (particularly to the injector pump) which makes engine components last longer.
- Most vegetable oil-based Biodiesels have a higher cetane rating than petroleum diesel, which contains many additives to try and achieve a high cetane rating.
- Running Biodiesel supports a renewable fuel source.
- Biodiesel New Zealand only provides vegetable oil-based Biodiesel. Our product can be poured straight into the tank of your vehicle, generator, boiler/ burner, or home heating unit. No modifications are required. See Running Biodiesel.
- In the 1970s the European market began setting standards for Biodiesel and now most western countries have a national standards for Biodiesel. New Zealand’s standard -- NZS 7500: 2005 – is based quite closely on the Australian standard.
