The Vine Guys "go green" with Biodiesel
 |
| Mischa Estate Biodesel |
It's nice when decisions are no brainers. This was the case for us when taking the choice to run with 100% Biodiesel on our Estate. I can now sleep easier at night by knowing the product I'm pumping into my vehicles is carbon neutral.
The funny part about Biodiesel is the smell of KFC when a tractor drives past. The advantages:
§ Cost less than regular diesel § NO modifications are necessary to use biodiesel on any diesel engine § It contains no sulphur which is the major cause of engine oil breaking down § It is made from waste cooking oil which does not compete with food stocks § It is non-flammable, non-hazardous, non-toxic & environmentally friendly § It has a flash point of approx. 130°C while fossil diesel is approx. 70°C § It has a higher cetane rating that really improves engine performance § Our biodiesel conforms to the American Specification ASTM D-6751 § Users can switch between biodiesel and regular diesel as they wish § It has superior cleaning properties over all other regular diesel fuel § It provides much better engine lubrication than regular diesel § Biodiesel is widely used in many countries around the world § Fuel consumption is virtually the same as regular diesel § Engine power is virtually the same as regular diesel § It produces 75% less exhaust smoke emissions § It produces 80% less carbon dioxide emissions § It helps economic growth and empowerment § It extends engine life by up to 200% § It mixes very well with fossil diesel § It is safe to store and handle § It creates employment § It is a renewable fuel § It is a “green” fuel |
