Re: [Biofuel] diesel, is it cleaner?
Hi Andrew Tracy. There is a Swedish survey performed by Motor Test Center, in which FAME is compared with Swedish diesel oil Mk 1 and other similar fuels. The survey is focusing on the cancerogenity of the particulants of the fuel respectively. The results suggest that the semi-violate phase from biodiesel is more carcinogenic than the correspondent from diesel fuel. But, on the other hand that phase is much smaller from biodiesel than from diesel fuel, so it makes diesel fuel more dangerous anyway. http://www.mtc.se/eng/freport.htm Emissions from Use of RME Compared to Environmental Class 1 Diesel Fuel in a HD Vehicle It should be pointed out that this report has not brought much attention to itself.

Best regards Jan Is that the infamous frying pan study? Anyway, I'd counter that the US DoE/USDA research finds that pure biodiesel reduces exhaust carcinogenicity by 94% while B20 reduces it by 27%. Here's the 2 page flyer - don't have the url to the full report handy. http://www.eere.energy.gov/cleancities/blends/pdfs/5450.pdf jh ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
