While many people know the advantages of using diesel fuel versus gasoline, they may not be aware of the advantages of using biodiesel instead of traditional diesel. Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect by making the switch.
Reduced Emissions
Studies have shown that biodiesel sold by marathon diesel fuel in Zanesville OH, emits 50% fewer greenhouse gasses than does regular diesel. They have also shown that lifecycle emissions are reduced by as much as 80%. The result is a higher efficiency for your fleet of trucks as well as much less of an impact on the environment.
No Modifications
Since biodiesel directly replaces diesel made from petroleum, there is no need to modify anything your fleet uses, except the fuel itself. In addition to this, the fuel contains absolutely no oxygen so it has no issues with cold weather starts or any sort of water attraction that plagues traditional diesel fuels.
No Smell
For the people who are actually driving the vehicles, one huge benefit is that there are no aromatics in the diesel nor are there any impurities present. This means that vehicle operators do not have to worry about inhaling toxic fumes or having noxious odors clinging to their clothes.
Stable Storage
Biodiesel stored by marathon diesel fuel can last for much longer than regular diesel. It is not subject to microbial growth caused by stagnant water in the fuel itself.
