Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

New biodiesel standards should speed acceptance

New biodiesel standards should speed acceptance

Quote:

After a five-year wait, the National Biodiesel Board announced it was delighted that three sets of biodiesel specifications have been approved.

On June 19, the ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, rendered its decision after extensive research and balloting by its fuel experts. The ASTM International D02 Main Committee’s vote should “significantly bolster automaker support and consumer demand for biodiesel,” the board said.

Automakers and engine manufacturers have wanted a finished blend specification for 20 percent (B20) biodiesel blends for years. Some said lacking the spec was the single greatest hurdle preventing their complete acceptance of B20 use in their diesel vehicles.
