Biodiesel Rulez!!! [ARCHIVED]

[diesoline]

i dropped by the local flying v station here this morning because i was attracted by their banner touting "CME pre-blended diesel." deciphering CME as coconut methyl ester, i promptly pulled over to make usyoso.

they put in 150 liters of biodiesel for every 12000 liters straight crude. that makes it a 1.25% blend, tama ba? they are selling it for 31.40/liter. for comparison, total here sells diesel at 30.79/liter.

Is there really a right % for this? Will it damage the engine if you add too much/too few/too soon? Pasensya na, 1st time diesel owner here (innova din). Might as well try it, for environment's sake.

AFAIK, huwag lang lalampas ng 20% blend.

diesoline, kumusta ang performance? pareho ba sa kung sarili nating blend? And kung 60c/ltr. lang ang dagdag mura na yon. btw aling Flying V yan?

checkout the latest (or last week's) issue of Newsweek magazine. their cover story is about Biofuels. a its very good read. due to skyrocketing oil prices, most industrialized countries are now exploring the development of alternative fuel. it mentions brazil as the 'saudi arabia of biofuel'. they are going to start exporting to japan & china.

ah so blended lang pala, akala ko nung napanood ko kahapon ay purong biodiesel, kaya pala P30+ lang. Ang pagkakaintindi ko din selected stations lang ng flying v, one is in baguio, cebu at yung isa sa cainta daw. Pero sana lahat ng stations ganon na

*diesoline

Total ba nag bleblend na din ng biodiesel sa diesel nila?

[diesoline]

falken, the one i was referring to was in baguio city.

laklak, total hindi pa. i just posted their baguio city price for comparison.

If Im not mistaken Brazil has developed already a ethanol based fuel and they are very serious about it. From sugar cane ito. Wala talagang pupuntahan ang presyo ng fossil fuel kundi pataas. Di ba yung print ad na " we used the 1st trillion barrels of oil in the last 125 years, the next trillion in the next 30 years", supply and demand na magdi-dictate nyan. Ok na rin that we are being pushed to explore renewable sources of energy. It's the way to go.

May I know where in Cebu is this available?

Btw, to everyone, although several threads have some partial answers to this query, but I still would like to have a straight and clear answer, Is BIODIESEL safe to use/recommended for CRDI engines? Thanks in Advance.. Will be very grateful for your answer...

my vehicle is a crdi sedona and biodiesel has made its engine sound and run better. i didn''t notice a great improvement in mileage but its emissions are way way better than most other vehicles that even the emissions center personnel though my unit is brand new. take note that this vehicle has the kia j3 engine, a notorious smoke belcher.

congressman jules ledesma of negros has an sugarcane ethanol plant in the works in la carlota with the byproduct bagasse also to be recycled for eneryg purposes too. let's wish him success in this effort. hopefully a coconut planting program will also be in the pipeline for cocodiesel support too.
