Biodiesel is Safe
- Biodiesel is the first renewable fuel to complete the Tier I and Tier II health effects testing requirements as authorized by the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments (CAA) of 1990
- Biodiesel is 10 times less toxic than table salt!
- Biodiesel biodegrades as fast as sugar
- Biodiesel is practically non-flammable ( > 300º F flashpoint)
- Biodiesel dramatically reduces cancer-causing emissions
The flash point (the point at which fuel ignites) for B100 is 300ºF versus about 125ºF for regular No. 2 diesel. This is only one reason biodiesel is the safest fuel to use, handle and store.
