Can I use biodiesel in my existing diesel engine?
Biodiesel works in any diesel engine with few or no modifications to the engine or the fuel system. Biodiesel has a solvent effect that may release deposits accumulated on tank walls and pipes from previous diesel fuel storage. The release of deposits may clog filters initially and precautions should be taken. Ensure that only fuel meeting the biodiesel specification (D 6751) is used.
B20 ir 20% tīra biodīzeļa +80% parastā dīzeļa. Īsti nepateikšu ko pie mums tankos tirgo...
Are there any materials compatibility issues with B20?
If it comes in contact with brass, bronze, copper, lead, tin, and zinc for a prolonged period of time B20 will degrade and create sediments. Lead solders and zinc linings should be avoided, as should copper pipes, brass regulators, and copper fittings. Affected equipment should be replaced with steel or aluminum. The effect of B20 on vulnerable materials is significantly reduced compared to higher blends.
Pure biodiesel can soften and degrade certain types of gasket, hose, and seal compounds like natural rubber, Buna-N, and nitrile, which can create fuel system leaks. This affect has NOT been observed with blends of B20 and lower over the last 10 years of B20 experience, so B20 or lower blends can be used without changes. If it is desired to use blends over B20, the engine or vehicle manufacturer should be contacted to determine if the seals, hoses, and gaskets are compatible with the blend being considered before use.
Tā ka pastāv iespēja, ka kaut kādi gumijas, cinka, alvas, svina, misiņa, bronzas un vara materiāli tiks laika gaitā saēsti. bet tas pie nosacījuma, ka lietosiet iBio daudzus gadus un bez piejaukumiem.
