Despite its biological origins, raw materials (feedstock) must be refined before it’s suitable for conversion into fuel. All of these unwanted products are separated from the fuel before it’s sold. Due to the flammable nature of the oil, the reaction components and the resulting fuel, processing facilities are regulated as industrial operations. One issue that is holding up the conversion of truck fleets to biodiesel fuel is a lack of availability.

The DOE says that major maintenance problems, like a faulty oxygen sensor, can drop your fuel efficiency by as much as 40%. The best idea for you is to have your mechanic do a fairly regular comprehensive check to inspect for potential problems that might cause your fuel efficiency to drop. Have a gas guzzler?
