Specifications for biodiesel B100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biodiesel<\/a> B100 (FAME) is a first-generation, pure biodiesel derived from vegetable oils, meaning it’s compatible with most diesel engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often referred to as B100, pure, or neat biodiesel in its unblended form, it is used to fuel compression-ignition engines and is typically used as a blend stock to produce lower percentage blends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B100 requires special handling and some equipment modifications. To avoid engine operational problems, it must meet the requirements of ASTM D6751, Standard Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blendstock B100 for Middle Distillate Fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
