Soy Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a clean-burning renewable fuel produced from domestic, renewable resources such as soy oil. It offers fuel economy, horsepower and torque similar to petroleum diesel, but with fewer harmful effects. Since it is made in the United States, soy biodiesel stretches our fossil fuel reserves and decreases our dependence on foreign oil to make our country stronger and more self-reliant.

soy biodieselClean Fuels Alliance America

Clean Fuels Alliance America maintains a comprehensive site with biodiesel information and a refueling locator. Consumers have more options than ever when it comes to using renewable, sustainable fuels. Many petroleum retailers now make biodiesel available at the filling station. In fact, across the United States, the number of biodiesel retail locations continues to grow. For retail sites in Pennsylvania, visit the retail locator.

It’s important to use best management practices to protect the investment in your fuel tank.

Learn the “BMP” for biodiesel management in this guide.
