Biodiesel Cleans Your Fuel System

• One of the many benefits of using biodiesel is that biodiesel will clean your

fuel system!

• Petroleum diesel fuels are inherently unstable and over time they form

lacquers, varnishes, sediments and deposits throughout a vehicle fuel system

Biodiesel Cleans Your Fuel System

• But regular use of biodiesel will remove these potentially harmful materials from your fuel system.

• New biodiesel users can expect to change their fuel filter more often during the first few miles of usage.

– This is normal, as the biodiesel is just cleaning up what the petroleum diesel has left behind

• The following slides illustrate this clean up process.
