Group 4 Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fuel that can be defined as mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids. Biodiesel is a fuel that can be
made from a variety of feedstock. The most commonly available biodiesel in europe is Rape Methyl
Ester (REM). This biodiesel is derived from rapeseed oil. Soy Methyl Ester (SME) is the most common
biodiesel in the United States. This biodiesel is derived from soybean oil. Soybean oil or rapeseed oil
are the primary feedstocks. These fuels are together known as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME).
Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOT acceptable for use as a fuel in any concentration in compression
engines. Without esterification, these oils gel in the crankcase and the fuel tank. These fuels may not
be compatible with many of the elastomers that are used in engines that are manufactured today. In
