Biodiesel is obtained from renewable sources and can increases the lubricating power of fuel in used tractor for sale from UK. The biodiesel is a fuel made from renewable resources and can be used pure on modern vehicles where it is expressly provided by the various brands. When we speak of biodiesel we mean a fuel obtained from renewable sources, such as vegetable oils, thanks to a chemical process of transesterification of vegetable oils with ethyl or methyl alcohol. Once this chemical procedure has been carried out, biodiesel is presented in the form of an amber colored liquid with a viscosity similar to that of diesel fuel.Â
Power SupplyÂ
The biodiesel can be used in those cars that have the latest generation of diesel engines, while for older cars, the use is not recommended because residues could form which in the long run can obstruct the engine's power supply lines. When biodiesel is used as an additive to diesel fuel, some benefits are obtained for the engine, such as better lubricating power. Compared to the common diesel fuel, biodiesel has some advantages. These include the reduction in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions, the reduction of condensed ring aromatic hydrocarbon emissions, the absence of sulfur dioxide emissions and the reduction of fine dust emissions. Although the advantages in terms of air quality are considerable, there are also disadvantages such as the greater emissions of nitrogen oxides from diesel, but also social problems. The lands cultivated for renewable sources of biodiesel, in fact, see an increase in the price of raw materials as well as a risk of increased soil erosion.
Best Source
According to some, waste vegetable oil is the best source of oil for the production of biodiesel, but the supplies available are far less than the amount of fuel derived from the oil that is burned for transport and domestic heating all over the world. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), US restaurants produce waste cooking oil per year, while for example in  Europe (partly) they are consumed annually billions of liters of diesel and petrol. Although it would be economically advantageous to use vegetable waste oils to produce biodiesel, it is preferred, for reasons of mere economic advantage, to use them to make products such as soap. To have a truly renewable source of oil, special crops should be considered. Plants would be a sustainable source for biodiesel production as they use photosynthesis to convert part of the sun's energy into chemical energy and part of this energy is stored in biodiesel and released when burned.
Refer To Ratio
In some cases, the production costs of biodiesel make the price competitive with respect to diesel fuel, but the current world production of animal fats and vegetable oils necessary to produce it is not sufficient to replace fossil fuels. To assess whether the energy expenditure to produce one liter of biodiesel is advantageous, it is necessary to refer to the ratio between energy obtained and energy spent. An increasing number of service stations are making biodiesel available to consumers and an increasing number of large transport companies are using a percentage of biodiesel in their fuel. In specific localities, biodiesel is not available at service stations but can be mixed with diesel fuel to improve its lubricating power.  Certain rapeseed producers proceeded to squeeze and filter rapeseed oil on their own and then use it for modified diesel engines for continuous use of rapeseed oil. These modified and powered rapeseed engines however are only used for the production of electricity from renewable sources. The process works in this way: the consortium of farmers delivers and installs diesel engines modified to be fed only with rapeseed oil at other farms or homes in mainly rural areas.
